tablesaw howell.  the fingerboard is only 35mm wide, so i ripped the board to about 35 wide then flipped it up on it's edge and ripped it close to final thickness. then thickness sander in this case, although i often don't and leave the saw marks there.

switch slot by laminate trimmer and router bit.  clamp stop blocks and go gently. a bit like the littlest of these...

router bit

cheers

One more question ... how did you cut the slot for the pickup selection?

"fingerboard - jarrah floorboard"

What thickness did you use?  If you had to make it thinner, how did you do it ... planer?
