Prostheta Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Definitely - I would probably approach it with my head before putting hell to wood :-D My Ibanez S1640FM is just over 1/2" thick at the rear button and horns, and widens in the recesses.... I realise the shape is computer carved, but as a CAD technician I kind of wonder what the basis behind the radii are around the body....it could be as simple as a flattened football (rugby ball to us English!) or a number of radii....I'd love to know the answer to that one....and then to be able to build a non-duplicarver jig for it :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) Here are some more pics so you've got an idea of how the edge varies.... top edge inside the cutaways bottom edge strap button Ugh. Looks like I need to do a full teardown and cleanup on my Iby. Funny how flash photography makes everything look 10x worse!
