Cheap is one thing, but I would have said hell with it and spoken nicely to a man with a bandsaw or whatever the heck they use.
The payoff for all that work looks damn nice, though!

You get the Doing it the Hard Way award. No contest!
Here's a tip for your plane: The lines are caused because the blade is straight. You need to regrind it so the edges are very slightly curved. It only needs to be enough to lift the edges away from the wood and it must be a smooth curve not a bevel.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: NDIYG day
Do guitar bodies sanded with Chimay or Lefte bottles sound better than bodies sanded with Tui bottles?
More seriously, how do the scallopy things in the side work out when playing it standing up in terms of arm motion?

Re: NDIYG day
the shape doesnt affect my arm motion actually, just that the lower "scallopy thing" can b a bit uncomfortable to dudes with bigger thigh since its not a smooth curve like les paul or strat.alanp wrote:Do guitar bodies sanded with Chimay or Lefte bottles sound better than bodies sanded with Tui bottles?
