Well, this guitar took me longer to finish than I expected. The double top was a curve ball, the initial top got stepped on by accident and the pearl took way too long to arrive! Besides that eveything else went according to plan. 
Now the box is ready for finishing and turned out pretty nice. (I'll finish the nech with gunstock finish later!) Lance, I think I'll post this one to your FIRST GUITARS thread...what do you think?

That is going to look STELLAR under finish!!! Fantastic job Peter! I really like the soundport and the bindings complement the dark woods perfectly... How do you plan on finishing it? I'm really anxious to hear your impressions on the double top (tone wise)... Very interesting concept. Keep it up! Al |

Beautiful, Peter! Where do you get the sinker redwood ... I keep hearing good things about it? Are both wood layers redwood? Thanks! Jim |

Thanks guys! Double top Sinker Redwood and Engleman Spruce. Allied sells the sinker wood at times. Ron, you are right.... bloodwood it is! |

I have heard that sinkerwood can have some beautiful iridescent shimmers in the grain. |

HI Peter: How do you do your neck joint and fingerboard extension? Thanks, Don |

Don, I use a double tenon and mortise joint. Works great! And welcome to the forum!!
I'm flattered you chose my thread for your first post! Thanks! |

Thanks Peter. Your guitar is very nice! I've been trying to work out the process for making the double mortise. Can you share some insight or point me in the right direction? thanks, Don |

Don, check out John Mayes DVD on neck set up. He goes over the whole process very well. That would be my best suggestion. Mayes Music |

Thanks. I've seen his videos around but wasn't sure of the content. It seems the video worked for you so I guess they must be pretty good. Don |

Yup! Prior to getting John's DVD I used the same neck design but I definetely got new ideas from his DVD. Highly recommend it!
