    Sorry guys didn't see the other responses I'm still pretty new to this.

    I see why IRLGuitars mentioned that it's a controversial topic. Good to know that they have tested it and it doesn't take away from it or anything. Since we are talking about it, do string through ferrules improve the sustain? I have some ferrules on order but nervous about drilling through the body.

    Hmm seeing the two side by side you can really tell the difference in quality and look, and looking back at m0j0s and Andyxlhs they do have that nice curve. Might not hurt me to have another sketch before I cut, last thing I want is too regret what I've done.

    Can't wait untill I can plug in and discover if I have created a great sounding guitar or if it's a good ol tone turd.

    To be fair, my final result was a bit of an accident. Did it all with a coping saw and started at the top. By the time I was getting near the neck, my arm was burning and I just wanted to be done. I got a bit over-enthusiastic and went a bit too far on a cut. Where it cuts in and back out again right towards the neck was not by design. When I realised what I'd done, I swore a little, composed myself and just had to make it work. If I could do it again, I wouldn't do that again. Don't be like me - take your time and don't make stupid mistakes through impatience.
