Side Profile Question for John Hall

[Diane Kauffmds]

Hi John,

I'm making a deep body 00, similar in profile to the 00-42SC. I have 2 questions:

How high do you make the rims at the bottom and neck?

The plans that I have are for the regular bodied 00, and they show a profile for the top and bottom of the rims that are about the same. Is that how you profile the sides when you make your deep bodied guitars (with an even slant on the top and bottom of the rims)?

I have and use 2 patterns for the sides one is based on the dred and one for 000 that gets me roughed in. I can send you a side template tracing if that works

I have 000 and 00 plans; I really just need to know how deep you make the top neck area, because I have the depth of the bottom. Are you making the neck depth for the deep body 00, the same as the 000/OM? If so, I can use the plans that I have here.

Thanks John.
