hiya... do you guys use a cutaway insert in your molds? I mean the little curved corner part that you screw to it when adding a cutaway? I've seen several pictures lately where the cutaway is bent... and then the side is just put in the mold as usual without trying to tightly wrap it on that insert. thoughts? |

I did on the first one I built with a cutaway but basically found it more in the way than helpful or beneficial. Probably a dozen cutaways since and don’t miss it. That’s my experience anyway. |

No insert for me. I haven't found any need for one. |

For a Florentine yes, Venetian no. |

I don't have one, but I wish I did. It would make getting things aligned for glue-ups and layout lot more efficient. |

Yes I do. Since my bending of the cutaway area is a bit hit and miss the side doesn't conform too well to the comma. However it is useful when glueing in the head block where the side does need to conform. Cheers Dave |

I use one, helps to define the curves and fit it to the headblock. I made it for my widest neck, and shim to fit if a narrower one is needed. |
