@rocknroller912 I kinda wonder if it would be the other way around. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching others making their laminated sides and I've seen a few that, when they are done lamin...

@koendb Its a hard learning curve by yourself. I went through it many years ago and have never actually done a guitar making course, only violins. You can show us on the video call next Tuesday if you...

@koendb I wonder if the bass side will have a muted response due to it being thicker. Difficult to sand it once the body shape is made but not impossible. Are you building on a flat board or using a m...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass @rocknroller912 The bass side is thicker. Just finished sanding the other one to 2.15~2.25mm

@koendb Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass

@markbailey Thanks. Can sleep now in peace. Cheers

@powerful : YES! Neck angle looks spot on - looks like there will be about 9mm space for the bridge once the frets are in - perfect. We can all stop worrying 🙂

@koendb thanks very much. It's all masked up now and ready for sealing etc. Should look pretty good as long as you don't look too closely. It's at this stage where I need to be brutally honest with...

@powerful That is coming together nicely! I can only hope my attempt will end up as clean as yours 🙂

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle. @rocknroller912 Ah I did not know that. Luckily for me, it seem...

@koendb Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle.

A couple of days ago, I started to bend one of the sides, which was still a bit too thick. ( 2.4 ~ 2.5 mm ) It took me quite a while, especially from the waist into the upper bout. Since it took so lo...

@markbailey @bpower Thank you! No need to panic then, since it is easy to press it flat. We have experienced cold and dry weather in Sweden for a few weeks, but the temperature may have fluctuated a b...

If you can press it down flat easily by hand, then it will be fine. If not - might be a good idea to let it settle for a while - then level the gluing face. Warping is usually caused by rapid change...

That was really nice, I enjoyed this very much!

Ok, so the rosewood fretboard decided to start to warp, a couple of days after fret slotting and radiusing. 🙄 Over the whole length the difference between opposite corners is 1-1.5 mm right no...

@swepri. I would think a warp in the fretboard would not matter at all. Once it is glued down to the neck it will stay as straight as the neck is. There is so little wood left in the fretboard that it...
