Re: はじめまして。日本からの参加です。Nice to meet you. From Japan.

こんにちはShunke 修理担当者がギターのどこにもアセトンを使用していないことを確認してください。イソプロピルアルコールの方が安全ですが、変色などの損傷があっても気にならないギターの部分でテストする必要があります...しかし、最も安全なのは布に石鹸水を塗ったものです。フレットボードはカーボンファイバーとグラスファイバーで、アセトンが仕上げを溶かします。 Hi Shunke Make sure that the repair men do not use acetone on the guitar anywhere.

Re: Fly nuts glued in? Material to fill?

I am a newbie here, but i have been making knives and other stuff since 1975. Ignore the following if you are unsure... Mask off the areas each side of the nut.

Re: Concave backed arch top?

Thanks VJ I have worked with CF and wood laminations before, for a baritone fretless 6 string for myself. ( Think Steinberger clone) EMG H3 bridge and neck PUs...okay sound, and great sustain. I am not a good player, just a guy who likes making stuff. I will watch that video this afternoon, thanks.
