As noted in my previous thread I am considering making a pair of guitars. When I first made a few, perhaps 40-50 years ago, I bent the sides following the instructions in Irving Sloane's book. The results were problematic. Since I am only planning to make 2 guitars I wonder what are the most reasonable, in terms of effort and price, method of bending the side. But more important than price and effort is likelihood of good results. I'd appreciate any and all thoughts. Thanks -Howard
