Hey all, I know this would probably be best in the Luthier Lounge, but I am no, nor will I ever be a luthier. I am a tinkerer and one that likes to make non-playable instruments playable, so I thought it best to post here.
I posted a couple weeks ago about purchasing a Grizzly uke kit, prying off the laminated top and adding a solid spruce top, mainly for practice and just out of pure curiosity as to how it will sound over it's original top (for which I have already assembled one). My question is, is there any tonal advantage with a book-matched top over a 1-piece top? I ask this because I ordered and AA set (I know, not really great quality, but the price was nice) of Engleman Spruce for a classical guitar from LMII a couple years ago for another project that I abandoned. Well, one side will fit on it's own, and I can use the other half for a different project. I was just wondering if there's an advantage of using one over the other.
Thanks,
Dan
