Maybe make and glue the back braces on concave rather than convex?

Has anyone done bevels for folks that are somewhat tubby in the belly? Pics? Top and bottom? Etc? |

I think) and Rick Turner's comments on same. Haven't done belly bevels but they would be more or less the same techniques. |

I use Kent Everett's method. Don't see any reason it wouldn't work on the back too. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

I made a wedge classical for myself. The back was sloped with the part resting on my legs narrower. Didn't help. Needed a diet. |

A wedge is certainly the easier way to go for that. |

Here is something I came up with a couple of decades ago. I am in the process of dismembering this guitar but will reuse the back and sides as is. I will likely build a larger bodied baritone or acoustic bass with this curved back design. It's actually fairly ergonomic for fat guys like me. |
