I’m starting a Hana Lima 'Ia kit to help appreciate what all you folks do and have a question about the scarf joint. Does it really matter if you cut the joint so the head stock is on top or on the bottom of the neck (alt in pic)? The instructions have you put the headstock under the neck but that makes the joint line visible on the headstock and I wasn’t planning on putting a veneer on it.
(Of course I am assuming that this will end up as a playable instrument instead of expensive firewood!)
Thanks
