I was thinking, if you used a disc sander and kept it flat

around the back of the neck over the area where the neck

plate is, could you take about 1cm off the body to give more

access at the neck? I might try this soon.

Can this be done, do you think? Sorry if I haven't explained it very well.

Thanks :D

Hi,

I think it's a little dangerous.

With a sander you don't know how much wood you will be taking off. Specially a disc sander can grind (correct word?) in.

Furthermore it's hard to keep a disc sander nice flat.

From what I understand you will be taking off 1 cm of wood.

I think that is dangerous at that ppoint of the guitar because it will make the neck/body joint a little fragile.

maybe it's better to use a router and just take out what you think will be necessary.

Hope this will help.

A palm sander gives you more control doing that, also stay away from osilating spindle sanders unless your used to working with them because they take a ton of wood off quickly.
