    There are a few places for body blanks.
    Real Tone or Guitar Australia are good for 2-3 piece blanks and other stuff.
    The blanks are usually 45-50mm thick.
    Generally speaking, two piece blanks are more stable than one piece unless you are able to get a chunk of quarter cut tree.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Pindari Dingo doesn't do belly rubs.... Like a cat, belly rubs can result in loss of arms..
