I go about .090 on backs for OO/OM size and a little thinner say .080 for OO/parlour. Sides usually .080, very figured, maybe a little less. These are building thicknesses and will probably go down 5 thou or so with final scaping and sanding. I've never had a guitar collapse so I'm thinking that I may reduce these a little in the future as I think there is a natural tendency to build too heavy. I want it just on the edge! Colin |
