ANY INFO OR TIPS WELLCOME!

Decided to butcher up one of my newer strats 1991 ( the worst soundind one)

I spotted in germany years ago, a electric guitar maker. Putting Acoustic
chambers in a solid wood body with no air escape :shock: covered it up when i was being nosey lol.
So i've rigged up a blind router which on 4 U.J. joints can go around bends :roll: slowly cutting not a high speed process.
Having popped 3 chambers on the top of the body taken 1.1 lbs of timber out and area of 1.2 pints of sand, hardest bit was to use a power file belt sander 4" reach to smooth everything up & out after grain raising on the wood so nothing stood out as a dampener.
Taken 3 weeks of 4-5 hours a day inc a full rebuild and a quick play to see how it sounds. Borrowed a oscilascope to get resonance to a near perfect pitch, will have to strip all paint off as where there was paint missing there was a better resonating tone through the wood, so I will oil it and may french polish it to finish.
Will add a bit more over the next few months, then when i have chosen pickups suitable, then i'll get a serious backing guitarist to put it through it's paces and video and post :shock: :D :wink:
