hello
first time poster and my second repair,well this is not so much a repair.
this a great forum and you guys are so talented im almost afraid to post this.
i got this squire at the flea market for $40 its a nice guitar but it was way to thick for my taste,im not realy a player i know some chords and can strum a little so it was no biggie if it didnt work.
i started by measuring a inch from the bottom and scoring my line for the cut.
then i just cut along the line,the cutting went very smooth the bottom came off alot easier then i thought it would.
then i used a chisel to cut away the old kerf,while removing that the side was lifting off the back just a little prying and the sides were separated from the back.
i made my own kerf from trim from home depot,i didnt measure the cuts just did what looked right to the eye.i glued the kerf on and am at this moment waiting to take off the clamps,(how long do i leave the clamps on?)
all i have to do is sand down the kerf to make sure its level with the sides and im ready for the back.
im looking for alternate methods of clamping the back because i dont have big clamps so any suggestions would be great.
