so this isnt your typical car carbon fibre questions.
im after making a les paul guitar copy in carbon fibre.

(for anyone that doesnt know)
im just after some general advice on what could be the best way for me to do it, i was thinking of skinning the guitar so i could make the back & sides of the guitar and neck in 1 piece, then skin the top and somehow bond the top to the bottom (this is a big bit im unsure of how best to do)
the other options making a mould on the cnc machine of the guitar and doing it that way which would be very precise and would leave me an area to have an overrun of fabric so can trim back to an accurate shape but still leaves the problem of bonding the top to the bottom so we have a light-weight guitar
also what would you recommend for the strength of it, i was thinking of using a heavy gsm carbon fibre for a reinforment layer then laying a 220gsm over top for a nice decorative layer.
am i going to need diamond coated blades for cuttings i do with this? (probably silly question)
thanks in advance
