I'm wanting to build an acoustic 6 string with conventional top and back bracing. I don't the technology or tools to make normal bent sides. My plan is to take a 2" thick hond mahog or sapele body blank, cut out the body shape and then take out the middle of that to leave 1/4" or so "wall' all around and neck pocket. Regular top and back added on with bracing and kerfed things. Am I stupid and/or misguided? thanks
