  1. thanx for all your replies. rich, thanx for expounding on mattia's original reply. my mistake, i meant kerfing, not kerfling. the guitar is a flat top and the top end of the sides is pretty much flat and gluing the kerfing to that was easy but the other end, the back end isn't quite flat and seems to peak higher than the neck or back ends. therefore, i was concerned that looking at a finished product down the sound hole, i would see that the kerfings near the waist wasn't completely flushed to the side walls because of the slight curvature of the back. i'm not sure if that makes more sense. but from your responses, i'm reassured that although the kerfing doesn't rise above the sides at a consistent height, this doesn't become too much of a concern because i should still sand the kerfings to match the angle of the top and back. did i get that right?
  2. hello all, i'm new to this forum and i recently bought a kit from stewmac, which seems from the few posts i've read that most of you wouldn't of gone this route. i wish i had signed up for this forum beforehand. the 000 kit comes with rosewood sides and back and a dove tail joint. i've started a bit of the kit so far but i had a few questions about the kerflings. the dvd instructor says to leave a 1/32" peaking from the top of the sides. now, the back face of the sides aren't completely straight but a bit bent being highest at the waist of the guitar. what's the best way to go around this bend while maintaining that 1/32" all around and not creating a slight lift on the other end of the kerfling? Does that make sense?
