The Ism Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I finished cutting, and almost finished sanding my first guitar body. I made it out of african mahogany. I was wondering anyone's opinion on the looks, and I was also wondering where i should put my strap bolts (i think that's what they're called ) My friend said I should put them on strat-style, but I don't think it'll work because of the sharpness of the top horn. Should I just wait till it's done to worry about it? Here's a pic for reference: (Front Side) Thanks for looking! - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Pretty nice! Am I correct to assume that the longer horn is the top one? Take a look at the Rickenbacker bass to get an idea. You'll probably still want to wait until the neck and guts are installed to feel its balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 My suggestion is to put the strap button on the "down side" of the horn. Still on the side of the body ala a Strat, but past the sharp edge. Also, Cherokee is right. To find the point of balance you will have to attach the neck and the rest of the hardware.
