Any suggestions on the best way to remove an arched back from a classical? There are no braces on the back but just the two blocks on the end and the neck, and the wooden strips that go along to connect the back to the sides. I need to do work on the strutts but it was too difficult to do through the sound hole. So i'd rather remove the back to finish the job. What is the best tool to use for cutting and where should I cut in reference to the purfling. How do I deal with the neck/end blocks if they are glued to the back? Thanks for the help.
