Default Sides: Profile, Thichness, Bend
Here Larry is profiling the sides for the varying depth of the guitar, thicknessing them, then bending them into shape. Larry uses a heat blanket and a touch of water. He prebends the waist, then bends outward from there. The sides are allowed to cool around the mold, then placed in a shape-correct cooling jig.










Prebending the waist.

In the night you hide from the madman
You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
