As you have recently written, the board can be stiffened = with an application of epoxy. Can you also stiffen the board by, say, = adding some quarter round segments along the underside edge of the board = at the rim--to undo the thinning? Or by adding a piece of wood at the = front edge in the first capo section much like is done in the top most = section? That would require modifying the damper guide rail a bit but = that wouldn't be too hard. Are there other methods of stiffening the = board in that section that you have tried and had any success with. David Love I've not found any of that to be necessary. I do not thin the board = anywhere from the front edge back about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way toward the = bass. I accomplish the rest of what I'm after by ribbing and by grain = orientation. Stiff enough is stiff enough. Del ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
