yesterday, i bought a large quantity of sitka spruce flamed maple and bubinga. this is some nice flamed maple.
so what is this stuff for???
the freak'n craziest idea in the history of archtop building....... a NECK thru archtop......
I know it sounds impossible. but i plan to extend the neck joint a few extra inches into the archtop for stability then hollow the neck by hand and glue sides then back then top. BTW back will be bookmatched flamed maple midsection will be flamed maple. top will be the ever classic sitka spruce. plus a 7 piece neck thru on both sides!!!!
the wood is here and there is no turning back baby!!! i know archtop fans such as drak will greatly appreciate this exercise of insane ideas/ and worksmanship.
Any q's will gladly help me along.
cheers and beers,
