@rathius My *opinion* (@JamesBisset might have more expertise) is that the sides of a hollowbody (like the es175) will be just 2-3mm thick, usually laminated (compared to the similar thickness but solid wood sides of an acoustic). The sides of… Read more»

@jamesbisset Oh, Dremel and freehand are things that usually don’t mix well when I am involved. 😀

@jamesbisset That initial carve, instead of a 1/3 in on both sides, go in a 1/4 on one side and a 1/3 on the other. Or do a 1/3 in on each side at the nut then alter it further… Read more»
