You will lose about 1/16 due to the kerf, so you'd need to match as best you can in the front and reshape the back slightly to make it smooth. That or glue in a 1/16 filler strip. I think either way a refinish will be required to cover the sins. But a nice way to get a good player.I'd think a series of small holes to steam the glue joint free, no? Its probably more work, but far less wood taken out.Depends on the glue used, right? Epoxy and cyanoacrylate don't release with steam the way hide glue (if the person who glued it backwards used hide glue, my hat is off to them) or regular wood glue do. What adhesives do the factories use to make 2+ piece bodies?

I love the SG.Who chops up a 4001 but keeps the bridge?

I'm super into the dude from All Them Witches' hacked 70's Rickenbacker 4001:

The famously unwieldy and backbreaking Fender Musicmaster.

As an aside, have you seen that Lucite/EGC-necked Mustang on Reverb? 10+ lbs!

I've never seen it and it seems like you'd need to always press the bass back against your belly so that it doesn't flip over into your crotch, strings-first.= Justin

I noticed that also. That bugs me much, much more than his hack job.It actually looks pretty awesome in a Mad Max kind of way.

It seems like it would be just as easy to put a strap button on the tiny hacked top square, which would make a lot more sense from a 'bass not falling into your crotch' perspective.
