Double tops are all I do. I really believe in them, at least the way I build mine. I've done big guitars, small guitars and medium sized guitars with double tops. I've even done ukes of all sizes with double tops. I've done lots of experimenting with wood combinations including all of the spruces over spruce, cedar over spruce, mahogany over spruce, walnut over spruce, redwood over spruce, etc. (Obviously I've found spruce to be the most successful inner wood)
When I do shows, I don't make a big deal of advertising that fact that they are DTs. I find that the general guitar buying public are a bunch of snobs (and I include myself in that stereotype) that don't care for change much. So I let them play the guitar for a bit and then inform them of what they are playing. One guy was asking me, whilst playing one of my guitars, if I had ever heard of a double top because he didn't think they sounded very good. I told him he was playing one. I think it was all he could do to not call me a liar. He looked inside, tapped, poked, etc to get proof that the guitar he was playing was in fact a DT. Yes, they can be made to sound fabulous. I just think a lot of the builders that have dabbled with them, don't know how to do it.

That sounds like a smart idea woolson. I think you may be right too. I only built one and like I said it was okay just not such an eye opener that I wanted to rush into building the next one. When you started did you have the same experience or was it an instant Eureka moment? The one I built I copied the techniques of Alan Dunwell in one of Robbie O'Briens videos right down to the thickness and everything.

The one thing I remember was thinking that it was over braced but I was advised to brace it as normal. I still even thinned the braces out more then I would have but the DT felt like a braced top without having any braces on it.
