I was originally planning to make another LP style guitar, but chose instead to make an original body design based in part on guitars by Michael Spalt and Steve Klein. I drew a sketch freehand on a piece of tracing paper and put another piece of tracing paper atop the first, modifying my sketch until I had something I liked.
sketching body shape
each piece of tracing paper further defined the design
for the back I used a bandsaw box trick to add width to my mahogany…
-cutting a random curve…
now combined- mahogany, bocote and strips of holly
