Hi all! This is my first post.

I was interested in designing an acoustic guitar, and I have some of the literature required but it doesnt contain any advice on making a beveled armrest. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on this.

Thanks!
-Rich

I believe Tony Karol did a pretty good photo essay on the subject over on the MIMF forum too. You might want to check that out.

Thats what the search button is for
I was probing the archives - man, there is only about 60 books worth of info on any topic you could ask about concerning luthiery in there -
But then again, new questions give everyone a chance to excercise thier smartass remarks and keep them honed. no?
Cheers

Charlie...Lance says he wants to be able to read the Forum with his young daughter, so we try to keep that in mind. Besides, adults ought to be able to correspond without words that your mother didn't want to hear you say when you were 10. BTW, my earlier response was tongue-in-cheek, and meant only as a gentle reminder. I think you knew that--just want to make sure.
