Hello everyone, this is Pepe, i would like what it is the recommended wood body blank for guitar body, what was the thinkness used in the tutorial? thank you very much
Think it is 45-46mm......
Measure once........
Measure again.........
Sod it - make tea!
The body blanks from the Baileys Shop are 46mm.....

Body blank thickness is 46mm - confirmed - thanks guys!
FYI:
46mm is the minimum thickness required for a normal sized tremolo system. It needs to be at least this thick to accomodate the trem block and a coverplate - smaller trem blocks are available but hard to find.
If you are not having a trem then you can make the body thinner - I would suggest 38mm minimum.
Also if you are having P90's they require a deeper hole - I would recommend sticking with the recommended 46mm.
Wood:
I recommend mahogany for the body because it is easy to work and sounds great - but there are many options: alder is also perfect.
Measure twice, cut once...
