Comment by Sandro Boscaro on January 3, 2011 at 6:32am: Hi Mark,

welcome to WBG group !

I haven't completed my first build yet.

The wood thickness is about 8mm, but the wood does not seem not very solid, so I went for a neck-through-body.

Comment by Mark Werner on January 3, 2011 at 5:09am: So....Interesting looking possibilities. Has anyone actually put one together yet? From the couple of photos, I'm a little worried about the wood thickness.

Possibly thickness-plane the lid?

Comment by Sandro Boscaro on January 2, 2011 at 3:16am: Hi DMON! Welcome to WBG group!

I'm eager to complete my first WBG too, but I have to wait for the tuners I bought on eBay to arrive :-(

Fernando, I'm curious to see how your reso will come out :)

I think I'll drink 3 bottles, to get a box like yours :D

Comment by Sandro Boscaro on January 2, 2011 at 12:26am: Cool! That will be a great WBG.
