Topic: Are D10 tops made of a single piece? |

I always assumed that a D10 body is four pieces, with a glue joint between the two necks. But yesterday I watched a video of a prominent builder who mentioned the body being only three pieces.
Does anyone know what the standard is, or if there is one? I could see the top deck being a single piece planed at an offset. |

Craig,
Do you mean the necks or the top part of a D10 body? I'm referring to the latter. |

| There is no glue joint. It’s all one piece. Body and neck. |

The vast majority of D10s are essentially two half bodies joined in the middle, each with a single apron. Most are glued together in the middle, some like the push pull are screwed together in the lap joint. Most look something like this.
