Vacuum bag for set necks possible?

[Jessy Shay]

Hi Everyone,

I am a recent member to Sawmill.

I need some help on this one. I was talking with Joe at VeneerSupplies.com and he had informed that you guys are the doctors and that if anyone you folks might be able to help.

Project:

Double neck guitar with set necks what is the best way to add a quilted maple veneer. If a Vacuum bag is possible I need suggestions and help on how this can work. Would I need a big enough bag to fit the whole guitar in it?

Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated!

Are you talking about veneering the necks, or the whole guitar?
If it's just the necks, there are some pretty old techniques applied on Romantic guitars (Lacote, etc).
It's detailed on the Crane guitar site (http://www.crane.gr.jp/indexE.html).

Personally, I think that you'd get the best results posting on MIMF.com (it's a bit quiet, but less commercial than OLF and more informative IMO).
