Rough sanding and cutting, using 40 grit sandpaper, and a Jigsaw.
Also a lot of patience. With Tigerwood, the jigsaw would cut 1/8" rapidly, or take a few seconds to push through 1/16" depending on the grain layer. All in all it was very slow to cut, but still felt workable.

Clamped it down and made my first decent neck pocket.
I clamped the neck into the correct positon, and drew around it, then used the router to slowly clear out the area, moving in clockwise patterns.

It looks like it got dropped in blue Kool-Aid.

In this case it is, wood type doesnt affect sound on electric guitar. Density might affect sustain, but that's even debatable. Body shape plays a bigger role, but even that's negligible. There are metal guitars out there that sound indistinguishable from wooden guitars on a recording.

I hope you sanded it with something more than 40 grit at start because so far it looks shitty. MAybe if you put glossy finnish it will be OK.

Design looks weird too.
