So I asked and the Master looked puzzled.........

Thanks for asking about that, yes my current guitar the Big Les Paul, shows a frequency of B1 Hz-10 cents but I think its actually an octave below which is very low and the tuner isn't designed to go so low

Somehow March became May and soon half of 22 will be gone!

I've got to trim the back of this guitar, first I tried to rasp it but I thought no, no, danger Will Robinson! But to route I will need a flat surface and this is my answer as I've done before. It is a lot of work just to trim the back's edge but these templates give me the choice if I want to do binding on the back or re-do the binding on the top

Thank you so much, but I think it comes from the more incredible ability of stuffing things up!

 

 

So now with the week's progress; I was thinking about adding binding to the back because it was a bit undersized and didn't quite cover in a few places, and I also didn't like how the grain was contrary to the sides. I finally decided to go ahead after consultation with Landlord's daughter

 

 

 

 

I only needed the MDF base template on the Top when I realised my overhead Router setup could reach over the neck

 

 

 

 

I don't like binding on the back of a Les Paul because I think it looks too "Dressed Up" but in this case due to the necessities mentioned I give it the thumbs up

The binding really brings it together, looks really good.
