Thanks Bizman. Guess hand sawing IS the obvious choice here. Thanks for the Kerf image - that helps a lot.

I building a solidbody guitar from a one-piece billet (Limba if it matters) with a maple cap on top. I'd like to remove about ¼" of the thickness of the billet. I'm wondering what techniques people use OTHER than use a thickness planer or router since I'd like to use that excess for control cavity covers and other uses? The billet won't fit vertically into my bandsaw. Any other ideas?
How to remove 1/4" from a billet?

Thanks for the info @ADFinlayson . The router + flush trim saw approach is simple and elegant. That hadn't occurred to me. I don't like the idea of wasting all of that routed excess ... but also don't like the idea of a few hours of sawing! So I'll probably go with this idea!
