  • Thanks Rob, the shape is from a pattern I found of Brian May's homemade guitar. The tape sides was an after thought.

  • This definitely, got my attention.

     

  • Very cool Rick!  I do like playing all of mine, but so far they've been solid bodies!  (Now you may be motivating me!)   I do have a buddy in Indiana with a stock of walnut veneer; I may have to reach out to him.....

  • Hey Rev, the tape is about the same thickness as the cardboard a matchbook is made from. I have it doubled up, and it's still fairly flexable. I could beef it up by applying more layers to either side.

    This one was mainly inspired by your's, by the way!

  • Very cool, Rick!  How thick is the tape?

  • Thanks Bluesheart and Uncle John! The way I did the sides came to me after a failed attempt to bend a piece of 1/4" pine. This tape comes in a 25' roll for about $5.

  • Oh!   Interesting~

  • Awesome work!!!
