Fantastic thread, Jack. Because of you're praise of the Ridgid oscillating edge-belt, SWMBO got me one for Christmas. I noticed from a video tour of the Gibson custom shop that they have a similar ege belt sander with a belt long enough to roll the entire neck at once.

The 4x24 belt is not quite as long as the neck profile, so how did you do it? - did you slide the neck back and forth sideways as you rolled it (two motions at once), or did you roll one area and then move the whole thing along and roll again?

By the way, the specs aren't available online or in the manual, but the sanding sleeves are 4-1/2" long which is a standard size in the Klingspoor sandpaper catalog, in case you don't want to buy the full assortment sets from the Depot.
