Well they say "Too much is just enough"
Or is that about stubbies?

Planning to use a Manzer-style wedge on my current build. For those who have used this approach before, how much side-to-side difference have you used to achieve a "comfortable" result? Thanks, Shane |

A .75-1" change in depth from lower bout to lower bout has worked well for me depending on size... .75" for a 00/classical sized, 1" for a dreadnought. |

I've only done one, which was .75" difference on a 15" lower bout. Feels a little much to me. I'll be sticking to .5" in the future. |

Thanks guys. Sounds like 0.75" is the place to start. It's 15.25" across. Will post some pics when complete. Cheers, Shane |
