Don't wanna drag this on too far, BUT, if you have a "neautral/natural" finish on a guitar you should be able to see a scarf joint at the neck or a butt joint at the headstock.Right? Not likely that you'd have a scarfed neck to headstock and/or a butt joint from a laminated neck at the same time just to showcase the more detailed Epi headstock.(SHITE). It's clear that the structural integrity of the scarf jointed neck/headstock is sound much like a "glulam" beam is considered to have a higher strength tolerance over a like piece of natural wood. Here CURIOSITY strikes again Are Gibsons made with one piece neck to headstock, are they laminated and butt jointed at the headstock or is this where part of the $$$ for the Gibbo is generated. I remember your post on the G-400 and "the ears" and the material waste issue respective to the $$$ issue. Don't know what its called but obviously book matched and open book are two different animals. What I thought as being book matched or "open book" was the Gibby LP headstock design, as looking at a book, if you opened it in the middle and laid it on a table from an overview. They simulate this on Epiphones by using two consecutive slices of veneer, one up, one down. Book matching is when you take a piece of wood and split it' date=' then open the two pieces like a book so that you get matched grain patterns. that's not what 'book matching' refers to.
