i guess that would work but are you plannign on doing this to an aleady existing guitar, one youre planning to build, or justthrowing the idea out there. LPs generally are made with a cap so chambering isnt really and isue there........as far as the tele goes i belive you could do this but unless the guitar is being made form scratch your gonna need to put in some thin peices of wood to repalce what you take away even with a thin blade
