The other problem is the gap that occurs between the body and frame. Some folks channel the body a little until the gap disappears, others make a filler to sit on top of the frame.
Bassman,
'depends what you're aiming for'. It I had a clue, I wouldn't be asking.
Thanks for your input/thoughts! I haven't got the '32 frame yet and wanted to make an AV8..without any knowledge/experience, don't know whether to start with A frame/'32 frame or as you mentioned repo!
Off to see the Hambers, I guess!
