Just a quick update. With the help of the climate control now possible, I've been joining tops and inlaying rosettes..I now have three candidates, one as yet without a rosette, but a nice top. If the rosette goes in nice, it is likely to be THE top because I believe it has the best sound characteristics. Got together with Kevin to discuss finish and provided him with a sample of the rosewood to work with. Take a look at the pics in the previous post and those below to get a glimpse of just how awesome this rosewood is. The neck and fretboard (no frets yet) are almost ready to go to the joining process. The sides are almost ready to be bent and the back is awesome. See the latest photos below.
