Man, can´t wait to see the final act!
I thought the character of the great flame with the center plain was cool. If you look in that top pic, the out side sections is about as good as it gets for flame.
Someone suggested routing out that section and trying to match to the larger, flamed portion but I wanted to leave the original wood intact...unk
Not that I know much, but "conversion" must mean something different to different folks. To me, "52-59 conversion" implies replacing the bridge with a TOM/stop tp, installing PAFs and refining (I used to own a "52/59 conversion"), but using the body wood to build a guitar around with new top, and new neck isn't, in MY mind, a "conversion".
I admire your woodworking skills, but don't really like this project at all.
Sorry, no offense intended... just sayin'.
