Well, the joint will show the along the back of the neck.....It's your guitar but if it were mine and I was selling it for money, I would not use it, unless you're going to heavy burst/black the neck.

I just finished a simple, yet rather bold inlay on the fingerboard for a wenge/sinker redwood parlor based on the Martin 2 1/2 size. It for my friend who was in the Peace Corps in Mali, West Africa, and came up with a black-and-white theme through the use of the wenge, ebony, and, yes, pre-ban ivory for the bridge, floating tail wedge, fingerboard "arrow" and nut and saddle.
Also, I'm final sanding a prototype guitar, which I'm calling The Odalisque, based initially on Taylor's Grand Concert shape, but with my own twist on the shape. Very lightly-built mahogany/lutz combo, with some Brazilian details, including bridge plate, headplate, bindings, rosette, heel cap.

I just finished the binding and purflings on an osage 12 string OM. My first time doing mitered purflings. I think it went fairly well...





Should start spraying tomorrow.

The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price has faded.

I have a friend who has been a carpenter all his Life . Recently he has needed a walking cane , so I decided to help him out in that regard . This is the Third in my series of "Tool Canes" Not done yet , but getting closer .



This one will have a 1" dia maple dowel comming from the bottom of the hammer handle approx 8" long with the rubber cane tip attached .

Not a guitar , but a nice break from the craziness that is lutherie
