Here we have a lonely piece of quarter-sawn curly, begging to become a guitar. I couldn't turn my back on it. I mean it was pitifull, cause it had been rejected as a carve-top for a jazz guitar. So, being an easy touch, I took it in and am training it to be a tele.

.Speaking of backs, I had a number of long cutoffs and some oak that's about 60 yr's old from what I've been told. We have Purpleheart in the center with a thin strip of mahogany on each side, then two chunks of curly from the top material, then a piece of Merbau on each side of that,then the Oak to round it out.
.
. I'm not sure though, because these two together will only add up to an 1 1/4 thick. I wondering if I should come up with something to go in between? I shall have to meditate on it......... :glasses9:
.Be safe folks, and make sure Aaron washes his hands.......... :icon_thumright:
