I am going for round style, venetian. All guitars in the store have fingerboard flushed with the cutaway, some have straight heel flushed with the edge, some have taper. I see some challenge in having the fingerboard properly flush with the edge and I see how it needs to be carefully count on during whole process. Oh and Sergei deJonge builds cutaways where the heel is tapered, yet the side still flush all the way.
Her is image:
Anyway, I am of course not going to attempt that, but a flushed fingerboard with side would be probably a good idea. I think I will need to go tapered with heel as the heel block is already tapered, uh.
What is the kerfing in the cutaway part, do you put a solid piece there?
