The back of the guitar actually tapers about 3/4" from the bottom to the neck joint. So now I have to carefully plane the sides so that the top intersects naturally. This is one of the hardest parts, since the back has more curve, it's not a straight line. As the sides curve inward to the waist, they must get higher to meet the higher part of the back arch, then back down again at the upper bouts. This one came out perfect, and back is fitting nicely.Tuesday, October 9, 2012
