Thanks Rob, the shape is from a pattern I found of Brian May's homemade guitar. The tape sides was an after thought.

Very cool Rick!  I do like playing all of mine, but so far they've been solid bodies!  (Now you may be motivating me!)   I do have a buddy in Indiana with a stock of walnut veneer; I may have to reach out to him.....

Hey Rev, the tape is about the same thickness as the cardboard a matchbook is made from. I have it doubled up, and it's still fairly flexable. I could beef it up by applying more layers to either side.

This one was mainly inspired by your's, by the way!

Very cool, Rick!  How thick is the tape?

Thanks Bluesheart and Uncle John! The way I did the sides came to me after a failed attempt to bend a piece of 1/4" pine. This tape comes in a 25' roll for about $5.
