Thanks Dave , the penny has dropped .
Could you also tell me why the C.F. rods are orientated the way they are ? i.e. wide side of rod parallel with the sides.
Thanks mate.

Cheers Craig[/QUOTE]

Craig,

Because that's how I have them in the necks I build. I think of them like top and back braces - tall and thin for greater strengh. Plus the side braces that hold the ends would have to be a lot bigger and more weight/bulk. This could be all wrong so I'll wait for those with the "big brains" to chime in

That is sweet Dave!
IT looks like you could drive a tank over the body and it would hold it! Nice job!

Impressive work, Dave. I had to smile at your first photo. It looks like the guitar is raising its hand to get someone's attention. I suspect it won't have to.
