I suppose it matters not -- but is there a reason you did not just make it the customary one solid piece?

Because I didn't have a hunk of scrap ebony big enough.

It's all together - in the white - no bindings, no tail wedge, and no finish. Just to see if it all fits and works. And it does! Needs a little tweaking of the action both at the nut and bridge. But it's playable and sounds good to me. Not as harsh and metallic as my metal body.

And the break angle over the bridge is looking good. It has more volume than it did before I adjusted the neck layback angle.

I'll play like this for a while and then get on with the binding and finishing.

See you later!

Any chance of getting a sound clip out of you, Dan??

The wedge came out great Dan and the guitar looks great!

I've got then nut and bridge tweaked so the action is good. Getting ready to do a sound sample. How do I put a sound sample here?

Looks fantastic! Isn't it amazing what you can do with a hub cap!
