So i cut the belly contour yesterday on my Bachbird. I was a little nervous about it but it came out much better than I thought it would. It looks pretty perfect and I am relieved. I forgot that the Guitar Center by my house had an original 60's NR bird in the vintage department so I headed down there to measure it myself just to make 100% sure. I trusted that "Uwe" gave me accurate measurements but I wanted to make sure that I was actually interpreting what he was saying correctly and the contour is something I definitely did not want to screw up. Thanks to "Uwe" and Rob for the info and advice. I am rounding up some pictures and I will start a new thread documenting my refin/mods. Wish me luck.
"Uwe"It's a weird name for American ears, I know, but it's neither an acronym nor a handle. Uwe is my one and only Christian name. Blame my parents!!!
Ooh-ve (the e as in "the") is probably closest, but Ooh-vuh, Ooh-vay and You-vee are all acceptable for masters of (only) the English tongue! It's an ungainly pronounciation for any language other than German and perhaps the Scandinavian ones.
You mean that I have silently been pronouncing it wrong all of these..years!? So it is Oooh -ve the E as in "tree" ?
No, by the e as in "the" he means oo-vuh as in "thuh". Hope that makes sense.
i just associated Dean Stockwell's portrayal of Dr. Wllington Yueh (you-ee) from 'Dune'.
