Just curious, but has anyone every built a Classical with a one piece top? If so, how'd it turn out? |

You can build a guitar with a one-piece top, but that's not the issue here. I want to see the tree you got that top from!!!!!!!!! Seriously, there have been a lot of smaller instruments built with one- piece tops (one-piece backs are more common), but you should probably watch the cross grain stiffness, because it's likely to vary considerably from one side to the other.

I did a little research on building mandolins. Even on a small instrument like that where you could conceivably using a one-piece top, they still use bookmatched halves. The reason is presumably to keep the top consistent from the bass side to the treble side. |
