spirit Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Em, well, not to sound like a prick or anything, but how do you think they put the mahogany and maple of a Les Paul together? (Non-prick answer: Yes, you can glue wood.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisky182 Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 i know you can glue the wood, i just need to know what thickness i need it to stop it from bowing/splitting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I don't think (THINK) it really matters, as they use some pretty thin veneers of pretty wood on tops of guitars to make them look pretty, BUT!!!!! YOU USE MY INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND I STRONGLY (VERY STRONGLY) ADVISE YOU WAIT FOR SOMEONE "IN THE KNOW" TO REPLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
