This guitar started as a proof-of-concept for Dan Spitz’s guitar, and was the first attempt at doing the 50/50 split bodies. The join between the top and back is cut on a curve prior to gluing up the body blank. This ensures that the radiused top carve won’t penetrate the top wood near the edges.
More to come…
