Try taking a shaving off a bit of your body offcuts with a plane, adjust the depth of cut to get the thickness you want. Why have I never thought of that! Excellent tip @robin.

@mattbeels Here you go - neck and another angle on the roundover / carve. Attachment : 20200216_160332.jpg Attachment : 20200216_141212.jpg

Cheers @koendb. And, I love the contrasting, wooden scratch plate. No nasty black plastic here @Boo! That was some offcut from the body, thicknessed (or thinned) down to around 3mm, jointed and ...

It doesn't have to be a full body carve, you could do a small "shelf" around the edge? 🤔 Here's something else that I tried as an experiment on a recent build ... @tv101 Excellent work TV,...

@tv101 No offence intended@robin! No worries TV, no offence taken, everyone is entitled to state their opinion and stand by it (apart from Boris of course)

I'm very proud of my F holes, they were a necessity to get rid of rusty nail holes. No offence intended @robin! The standard f-hole design is a, errrr, standard (!), so our eyes are used to seeing i...

ask @clinton. That’s how he does it @mattbeels and @eddie6string Yeah that is the best thing, ask @clinton. He always seems to find an inventive way of doing things or just does them by hand. Let’s s...

I'm very proud of my F holes, they were a necessity to get rid of rusty nail holes. They were cut out with a coping saw, then chiselled and sanded to the final shape. @robin And so you should be Rob...

Could you do it with a Dremel @eddie6string? 🤔 🙏🎸🎶🙂

@eddie6string I’ve never done one but if I had to I’d use a routing template, boom... done!

Can I butt in on this supremely tasteful post and ask if anyone knows of a set of router templates for a Gretsh Malcolm Young Jet guitar? Really struggling to locate some @eddie6string - that's goin...

Gretsh Malcolm Young Jet This guy might be worth keeping in touch with if he is producing full size CNC friendly drawings

Cocobola fretboard! Yes yes yes please

Hmm @eddie6string I typically like a slab body for the LPJ style guitars but a carve on yours seems appropriate. It’ll look very classy with that center strip, plus a carve is more comfortable to play...
