<p>Wow what a great idea next time I get something similar I believe I'll be doing the same. Being able to show the customer the nature of the beast is something that will save me a lot of time.</p>

<p>I have a similar guitar body and a couple of necks cut lengthwise to show different truss rod configurations. And another neck (electric bass in this case) that is fretted with a variety of fret sizes - useful when a customer wants a refret but is unsure of the profile. The fret neck also has one side with a nice rolled edge on the fretboard while the other edge is not rolled. This also has helped a few customers decide about this feature. And all of these pieces were from what otherwise…</p>

<p>After taking off the fretboard & bridge, I used masking tape for a reference line and (as Joshua succinctly mentioned) just "introduced it to Mr. Bandsaw".</p>
<p>The blade was relatively new so it made a clean cut, then I deburred the cut-line with a bit of 220 paper and there we go. </p>
<p>Sure, it's more of a conversation piece, but does have it uses for explaining some jobs.</p>

<p>What did you use to cut through the body so cleanly Mike? I cant stand throwing things out either. I bet your customers love this.</p>

<p>Thanks! Yeah, I was looking for something modest & manageable in size, so I popped the fretboard and bridge off first. Then cut the fretboard length down ( it comes on & off with little magnets) then epoxy'd the bridge back on after cutting it down width-wise. </p>
<p>It all comes down to being cheap and hating to toss anything away!</p>

<p>Mike,</p>
<p></p>
<p>That's great!. Obviously it took some planning, not just introducing it to Mr. Bandsaw.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Good for you.</p>
