After much deliberating and realising that I'm going to struggle getting one more guitar in under the radar, I'm embarking on my first build/ assembly project. Smuggling the guitar in piece by piece will be a lot less painful on the ears than an all in one arrival!
Getting the body prepped, sanded and sprayed is to me the most difficult part, and the bit that will really distinguish between it being a homemade guitar, and a shop bought one.
I really like the look of the sharper body edges of the 50's instruments which I believe were 1/8 inch roundover. Does anyone know where I can get a 1/8 roundover bit suitable for a dremel router attachment? or as an alternative a 1/8th to 1/4 inch shank adapter chuck? I know there is such a thing in America land, but a UK supplier would be less messy. The alternative is for me to round over the edge with sandpaper, which would involve an element of inconsistency! Any top tips from you lovely people?

Are you sure that 9.5mm isn't the overall width (3x3.2mm?)

... maybe, but I've already started my search for a suitable piece of wood to modify

Need to use the router base obviously and it might be good idea to make a wider base extension from a sheet of perspex so it's easier to keep it flat on the surface of the body.
