lol, Titebond I is my mainstay. I only do the "goop" because it does such a great job wicking in and around the plastic binding and eliminates
some of those "ahem", seam gaps that might occur. On less experience builders, of course.
Now, here's a question that I need answered;
I've now focused my attention towards making the bridge. How "thick", i.e. tall, should it be? I've got a nice, 6" long piece of Wenge that's
begging to be used for this, just wondering how much to thickness it down to. I think I read 3/8" in the Cumpiano book, is that pretty much standard
and/or is there a reason for something different?
For some crazy reason, I'm trying to build this guitar without the benefit of using plans, just measuring as I go. I picked up this habit over
in the solid-body-guitar-world and I'm still wondering why. I am, of course, borrowing (read; stealing) measurements for all the bracing for
the top and the back, along with all the info I can scoop up here in the forum. But I figure it's much easier to be "right" if you're not using
a plan. See...you hadn't thought about that, had you?
