| As Tony discussed with Kevin on the phone, he will be using a guitar body he had being making for use in Bogus Quo. | Tony: 'I was making a Live Aid version for the band, so the body was routed for a standard 2 pickup setup. So its back on the jig for this one!' | Tony has made this body out of three pieces of Swamp Ash just as per the real thing! |
 |

 |
| The 'Rossi' neck is taking shape... | ..maple with a maple finger board. | The neck is now shaped and the dots are in place. Note the correct marker spacing at the 12th fret. |
