Acoustic guitars tops and backs traditionally have a slight radius to them. To achieve this the sides must be sanded in the appropriate sanding dish. The sides of the guitar which will one day support the spruce top need a radius of 30 feet. This is done with the sides in the form (the bulky thing surrounding the sides). In this short film you can see this takes some patience and time. It took about 2 hours for me to finish just the one side of the guitar. The sides that will hold the back of the guitar will have a radius of 15 feet. This drove me crazy, just like this film will drive you crazy.
