Richard, Almost everything is doable, but I don't think it will be very easy to do. You have of course all kinds of obstacles like the belly rail, keybed and what have you. The one thing you want is the fish construction to be as sturdy and solid as possible with no gaps or what soever and that will be a hard task to accomplish when you can't properly see what you are doing. Of course It would be nice to see what the difference is in a given instrument. The thing I find is interesting is that the fish construction suddenly turned up again. I first saw Ron Overs using it and at the same time I saw it at Steingreabers in Europe. Maybe it was something in the air.
