Some of the new tops that Tom has are really well matched. I like how some of them are not perfect book matches well done Tom!

lefties can be done, but only on a custom order, so you'd have to supply the lumber, and there is an up charge for it unfortunately.

they are dead on accurate. tapered headstock, correct tooling marks in the cavities using the correct three step machining methods, even down to the little hand gauged cut in the switch cavity. neck angle, binding size and material, inlays holly veneer, we use the same urea glue for the top to body joint, and hide glue on everything else. the inlays are even the correct thickness being .040" thick and inlaid into correct radiused cavities just as the 50's are.

nos inlays
