Jointing archtop guitar tops
I usually build flat top guitars and usually joint the tops and backs with a Stanley no 5 style of hand plane ( only different brand). I want to build an archtop instrument, and the wood blanks I have are longer than usual and, of course, a lot thicker.
What size plane do you use for kind of job? Would it be easier with a longer plane (6 or 7)?
Thanks!
Jorge

I used a no 7 when joining mandolin tops. It’s just an all around handy plane. Also looks great on a bench or shelf. Really bumps up the looth cred.
