Flying V & Explorer Measurements

Hey anybody got a Flying V or Explorer... I need the measurement from the bottom of the guitar to the top at it's widest point, while your wearing the guitar... I'm thinking it's around 15" - 18". It ain't gotta be exact, just a round about measurement.

I think he wants the body width.

Yeh, 16" sounds bout right. I'm wanting to get a planer, didn't know if I'd need a 15" or 20" planer. 20" planers are harder to come by.

as long as one end is open you will only need 10 incher, i think ryobi makes a cheap one.

Yeh them planers get heavy. I've got a small 6" Jet jointer and it weighs close to 200 lbs.

You ever build a copy carver?
