Thats a stellar build. How much of the maple layer is in there - does it match the internal hollowed out "shape" of the mahogany, or is it full top? And did you carve the top inside to match to outside?

The maple is just a rim about 15 mm wide except for a 100 mm squarish section under the bridge/pickup and around the neck socket & pickup.. The top is dished out to match.Lostininverness wrote:Thats a stellar build.
