It's an odd, but slightly satisfying feeling being spoken to as if I were young and ill-informed. I wish I was still that young, but hey.......a meal is a meal.
It's a maple cap, and a two-piece mahogany slab that John joined, and then marked out for a center neck block, AND for 1/2" thick sides. He band sawed away the waste, and then inlaid thin mahogany veneer fillets to fill the band saw cut.
Orville Gibson is kvelling in his grave.
Best regards,

A Gibson CS-336 has back and sides that are carved out of a single piece of mahogany capped with a maple top. It sounds surprisingly a lot like a Les Paul, but a touch smoother.
