Also finished the 'torque backplate' except for the tips of the break-angle, i think i will saw a slot and insert a washer for the wire to run through
I didnt think that end grain glue joint would handle the potential torque so i added screws
This is a picture of the inside of the guitar, my torque backplate will be mounted here, that veneer(?) is well bonded to the soundboard, no problems just gluing my maple straight to it?
All those holes will line up and provide a great opportunity to put a m5 bolt in every hole to get the joint real tight, no long clamps needed
You might wonder how i aim to put tension to the wire, i think i have a real neat solution to be able to add tension by turning the bottom strap button (yes im over doing it but its enjoyable)
I am getting ready to glue the main piece to the inside soon but i'll give it a rest if any of you guys catch anything i forgotten
