Tom, Did you opt to make a jig and use blankets to bend the sides or did you "pipe" bend them. Just curious, I am assembling what I need to work on my first build. I am thinking of building a jig. It would seem to make subsequent guitars easier. What is your opinion? What book did you use for guidance? Hi Cordova, For this guitar I used the bending iron which was a pain. I'm sure it gets easier the more you do it. For the ones I'm working on now, I built a side bending machine. I get the same results everytime with little effort. It was rather easy and cheap. You can buy the Fox bending machine for something crazy like $500. For the materials, it cost me only $35 and a little bit of sweat. If you send me an email I can send you a photo of mine as a reference if you like. Good luck with yours!
