I removed my first sound board yesterday. It is a practice guitar I bought for just such things. It went OK but was way more difficult at the neck and tail blocks than I hoped it would be and some wood remained on the blocks that I wish were still on the top.
Is there an online or book resource that has some insight about dealing with top (and back) removal especially at the block areas?
