yes u are right about a dip from the edge,. i have tried to study many photos, as a guide to the desired shape we are after, (and no need for me to laugh, all help is appreciated so thanks ,.)
.. but i have been trying to dip down from the outside edge using a gooseneck scraper running around the outside to try and make a dip, its my first carve so just experimenting and trying how we can do it best, pete did his different to mine and ran the router around the edge, and it is kind of worrying wondering as you carve if u are taking too much off, (cant put it back). , although we are pleased how its gone so far, of course we don't have anything to compare to apart from photos of other prs styled guitar builds on the net,
... and to be honest its not a bad thing if it isn't as close to a prs as possible as its our first projects inspired by prs guitar,.not a replica of, and thats almost impossible for a first guitar build project by us to replicate a prs ;-) ...(wishes)
