The top is finally glued up it took some time to get it just right. I only have 4 clamps large enough to do it so I wanted the tightest fit I could get.

I dug out bocote from the store and it is just wide enough for a fingerboard and easily deep enough to get a bridge out aswell. The mahogany boards are only 4inches wide so I may have to make a 4 piece back and top. I did an internet search and discovered some banner era j45s had a 4 piece adirondack spruce top, also some classical makers prefer 4 piece tops to get equal grain right across the width. The only way to know if this is going to work is to try it and listen to the tap tone of the wood once it is together. If the guitar looks like it may be quite nice I may buy some spruce for the top instead.
