<p>Hi Paul, that's what I thought it would look like, in my books its called a Cove.</p>
<p>Here I used it on a guitar I built in 1992. It has solid Honduras mahogany body with Tasmanian Blackwood centre infill, ebony Fingerboard, and early 80's Gibson SG Custom pickups. I use it for slide now days.</p>

<p>I'd love to start tomorrow, but the wife finally decided to start moving into her parents house this weekend. Unfortunately I have to move with her. Hahahaha</p>
<p>Anyway, all building and playing will be on hiatus for a few months. If I go the solid body build I'll probably do a little chamber routing and maybe a German Carve around the edge, been wanting to do that for some time.</p>

Hi Paul, you got your work cut out with wiring that model guitar, I'm sure you're up to it. Hollow body would save weight and give more depth to the body. Be good to see, I suggest you start tomorrow.<br />

<p>Hey Taffy, I bought some Bamboo cutting boards and I'm going to glue them together for a guitar body some time soon(hopefully). Just not sure if I want it as a solid body or a hollow body yet, but it will resemble a Harmony Stratotone with 2 Firebird pickups. That much I know for sure.</p>

<p>yeah we have Kmart in Australia but it's a pretty different animal, the original guy who started it sold out after about a year or 2, so it's really only the same logo as the US.</p>
<p>I might try it one day, already have a few that i need to build</p>

<p>Wow, I didn't know that there was anymore K-Mart stores open.</p>
<p>I found them at Walmart too. They are adjustable so as to fit a kitchen drawer so you could make the body whatever size you wanted. If you get 2 boxes, you can invert one and glue them together making it all Bamboo.</p>
