I'm building a 1966 Rameriz classical guitar. The plans show the back and sides are rosewood, It also shows the sides are laminated with 1.5mm rosewood and 1.00mm cypress. What is the best way to achieve this? Glue the pieces togeather and then bend or bend the rosewood then the cypress and glue togeather? I'm a beginning builder so I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right questions. sincerly rgar5795 |

Bend, then glue. You'll need to make a mold and matching caul to ensure even clamping pressure. If it's you're first build I'd just go with solid sides if I were you, around 2mm. |
