mullmuzzler Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Is there somebody who has built SG or some other guitar that has edge chamfers? What would be the right tool (tools) for this job? I've read that some guys on this forum used disc sanders (the guy that built that awsome PRS-like quilted maple top guitar in 'september contest" post). Also, I need some advice for rear contour of the body: the RG guitar body has really nice back contour with straight edges. How it can be executed?

westhemann Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 i use a rasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budman68 Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 I too use a rasp, and then switch to a bastard file and then a cabinet scraper. Quick and efficient wood removal. Dave-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 The correct and fastest tool is a spokeshave for the rounded bodies, or a plane for straight bodies, eg: Flying V's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 You know an oscillating spindle sander would really do the trick nicely. To bad you guy's are lost, were talking about putting the contours on a body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 ooooooh, like the JS model has really rouded edges, and rg's have a really straight edges sides, and sg's have that kinda 45degree cut/trim on the bottom horn and along the top? Why not just use routerbits?? er no wait... ok i just read everything again.. ooo just to get the shape of the body.... yes i use an oscillating sander stantion, that also has an oscillating belt attachment 60 grit to get to the pencil outline, then i flip on the 150 belt to finish it off and get the final shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roli Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Rasp rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Rasp, spokeshave and round surform. All of these are great for quick stock removal. You can just go nuts with abrasives, but that's a good way to fill a garage with sawdust. Rasps and spokeshaves produce shavings or large particles of saw dust, which you can't inhale, and which are far easier to clean up... Particularly important if you plan on spraying in the workshop later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
