Are D10 tops made of a single piece?

Dave Stroud · From: Texas

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.

My Williams lacquer is a one piece neck.

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. Itâ€™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.

A Williams is one whole piece of wood body and neck.
