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,
Howard Emerson
Howard, dinner is indeed on me, and I'm a chump, and that is one unique guitar.
