Southpa Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 I'm just looking for the right number. I'm down to 1 3/4" thick so far w/ out cutting any edge contours yet. But I still have to do some more sanding to get rid of the little dents, (oops). I know the Gibson SG is one of the thinner guitars out there. Anyone out there got an SG they can measure with calipers? Much appreciated! Quote
MzI Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 if im not mistaken arent they around 1 1/2" thick, they are quite thin which is nice MzI Quote
Southpa Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Posted May 18, 2004 Thankyou sir and/or madam! That dimension is darn close to that of my 67 Hagstrom III so at least I have something to copy from when cutting my contour depths. The edge is about 7/8" to 1" thick heading into 1 1/2" at the center of the body. So that means 1/4" off each side. Its nice to have some sanding leeway. I just put another small dent in the mahogany right after I sanded the previous dents flush! Guitar fell over when I was working on an edge. So it goes. Quote
