When scalloping it may give you some information on where and how much

Yeah, but.. the magnet isn't strong enough to hold on the braces and I'm still going by stiffness and the way the top feels.

You hit it. Cool and fun tool, but what practical use other than research and documentation?

I dunno. I'll find something. Research and documentation aren't practical? :)

Im assuming moisture from gluing on the braces and sides will swell the wood a little. When you are talking about 1/1000" tolerances, everything changes with temp/humidity

Hey.... you actually gave me a good idea. Measure a dry guitar and again after humidifying.

When you make these changes and compare guitars, what strings do you put on them? What are your goto strings for your guitars?

D'Addario EJ16 or EJ17. But mostly because I _finally_ got a "dealer discount" and can get them about 60% of retail. Prior to that I used whatever I could the cheapest. Most customers are gonna rip the strings off and put their favorite on anyway. I used to use Darco strings because they were super cheap and I can't tell you how many times people would say "What strings are these!?! They're GREAT!!!". I lost all faith in there being a "best" string.

How much does the guitar finish vary in thickness?
@Bryankimsey
3 ай бұрын
I wondered the same thing. Might be accounting for some of the variance for sure. Also, having a perfectly even top might not even be optimal. Might produce a bland sort of tone. I don't know. Yet.

357 is the answer. .003 for the Authentic Aged finish. .005 for the Authentic non-Aged finish. .007 for the finish on Martin Standards.

Yeah, but what I was wondering is... how consistent is it over the entire top? It's hard... impossible?... to spray perfectly evenly. Hard to sand evenly, hard to buff evenly. Etc. you might end up with .008" here and .006" over there and that'll reflect in this insanely sensitive Mag-ic Pro-be.
