johnsilver Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have some information that says a PRS is 1 3/4" thick in the middle and 1 1/2" thick at the edge, indicating the depth of the carve is only 1/4". Assuming a maple top with a mahogany body, and with "faux binding" of 1/4" maple showing on the edge, that would imply the maple top is 1/2" thick and the mahogany is 1 1/4" thick. Can anyone verify the depth of carve and relative thicknesses of the maple and mahogany? Many Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Are you making a replica??? Because I don't see the point of making one guitar exactly the same as the original unless it is a replica. I'm in the middle of a SC PRS style build, I'm going with a 3/4 top and 1 1/2" body, faux 1/4" amd the whole top is angled at about 3 degrees all the way till about 1" past the TOM in order to either recess it or use a hardtail if I decide to change my mind, also a recess trem is in the probabilities.
