Brian Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 First thoughts are decide the type of finish you want and also the style of bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basey Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I'm in the same boat as you. except I got the wood yesterday. I've printed out a bunch of different style top and bottom horns and I'm just kinda mixing and matching to see what looks good. I think I'm going with a single cut top (bass). Looking at the body in full scale helps ALOT! good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarchump Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Thx and yea i think i wanna do some thing with a carved top of some sort i also would like to have some sort of fiqured top but quality tops are hard to find in Calgary Canada where i live but i can get a 14-16 inch body made of hondurn mahogany and i can get neck wood there. if you have any sugestions on top and neck would types that would help ps if i am doing a set neck should i rout out a section under the top for the neck tenon or is that not how you do that ?
