Hello friends
im about to start my new project with afican black wood and euro spruce
for my sitar guitar which was posted in other forum

i want to ask doubt
does 4pc back has any effect on sustain of a guitar than 2 pc back?

what should be the final thickness of back
and sides difficult to bend?

waiting for ur replies

I've built many a 4 piece back guitar and you won't notice a lick of difference IMO. I don't know what to tell you on back thickness but once you start to get over 3/32in thick it will be difficult to bend sides.
