Dude! Given the funky rosette, the flipped sides actually really work. I love this guitar. Also, that top is CRAZY.

Thanks for posting this. I don’t think any of us love sanding but it just has to be done for good results. 👍👍

A metal sheet is also always straight and quite good to get into curves

I could have used this video last summer lol. Question though: can you discuss cupping in a future podcast? Also, is it possible to true sides before closing the box?

[@shawncharton9416]

YAY!!

[@walterrider9600]

[@EricSchaeferGuitars]

Thanks Walter. It's Tiger Myrtle back and sides, figured Redwood top

Tip: You can easily make your own rolling pin sander but you need to use reverse threaded rods & nuts (unless you're left handed). Don't make the same silly mistake I did LOL.

If you use a T square that's long enough to reference the highest point of the radius you CAN get square.
