April 2007. Christian Whiting’s guitar project. We glued the maple top, in two book-matched pieces, onto the mahogany body. We used Keva blocks as spacers to keep the clamps from damaging the surface. The black banding is cut bicycle inner tubes– stretched evenly but very tight. This rig did the job. The top fused cleanly to the body, and has held up very well (almost four years now).
