Thanks Clay Schaeffer, I just ordered a 36"

Thanks!

Oh my gosh! Have you ever lined up various rulers in your workshop to see if they match up? I just did and was shocked to see they don't match.

Wow! So many great replies. I had no idea about chalk fitting, etc.
I've been pouring over each reply and watching videos.
Grateful to each of you!

Then the spinning bearing, wrapped with tape suddenly turned white (with melted plastic). I had a piece of tape wrapped around the bearing to get the right depth.. I assume the tape p...

I just used the router to clean up the binding edges of the plastic end trim. Things went bad! My first guitar; and I could use any suggestions on how to proceed! PS seems the router bearing melted the plastic and burrowed into everything. ..Tape added to bearing to get size I wanted. IMG_6893.JPG I...

Might a shellac wash coat effect using pore fillers later on??
Example: spruce top, but rosewood rosette and rosewood sides.

Wow! Excellent feedback!

1st Build Stewmac, Triple O, Rosewood, Spruce top Here’s where I'm stuck. I'm about to router the body edges for binding. If I add shellac as a protective wash coat, what to do with the shellacked areas after routing? I have Super Blond shellac (from flakes), but I'm sure this will stain/darken the ...
