Hallo. Thank all of you for sharing your skills here. I am a beginner in guitar building, so far made two bodies. One of spruce, one of sapeli that I want to show. I bought a nice second hand Ibanez neck and trem, so it was an obligation to make a decent S body for it. I tried to carve the body with a radius jig, to some extent successfully. I have not seen many S shaped bodies made by luthiers, so I wonder how others do it.
