| Post subject: | Cocobolo back and sides thickness |
I tried searching for this before asking in a new thread, but I couldn't find anything. So, my question is, what should the thickness be for the back and sides of a cocobolo 000 size guitar? It's pretty dense and I have never worked with it before. Thanks for any and all help -Sean |

Cocos heavy, so I'd try .85.... You could possibly go thinner, let's see what others say... |

I aim for around 0.080" before bracing. |

I just finished a build a few months abo in coco...I went about 0.085" on th back and about 0.075" on the sides. Before final sanding and finishing, of course. Worked out fine! |
