On steel guitars that are made of all solid woods, how is the top deck of a D10 instument glued together. Are the two pieces just planned to the thickness of the front and the back and then run through the jointer and edge glued or are the two pieces joined with a tongue and groove or biscuit reinforced or what?
Anyone know what ShoBud, MSA and others did on their solid maple instruments. |

Bill, the Emmons double neck has a lap joint and countersunk screws which are hidden by the flocking. I believe most others are joined the same way. I think one main reason for this is that they can fit them to the endplates.
