Alnus Rubra
Loving nature’s wonders
It is common practice for the joint in the top to be centred, because it is used by the luthier as the “centre line” during construction, from which the neck, body hardware are aligned as we all know.Noob question here: Is that bookmatch line, or joinery line on the top, off centre? Or are my eyes off? I just bought an alder CE24 with a maple fretboard and when back home, I saw what seems to be a joinery line, that is off centre and skewed.. Is that possible?
Another question: is this a really a maple top, on an alder body with no binding??
However, good question with regard this one, not sure if it’s an optical illusion.
