Sigh, learning Tshörmenn lesson 1, lieber Scott:
'Schaller' is not ponounced "shay-ler" like in oil shale, but "shuller" like a lull in work.

I can't watch embedded YouTube videos on this forum on my phone.

Have fun with the bass. Substance looks good, anything else can be done in the aftermath.
PS: No saws!!! 8)
I would do splines normally but there is so little original material left I am hesitant to remove any original material for splines.
That's the way Adolph Rickenbacker pronounced his own name. Cousin Eddie, too.
You guys pronounce it Ricken Baker?
Adolph Rickenbacker actually spelled his name initially in its Swiss original "Rickenbacher". That throaty "ch" (even more throaty in Swiss than it would be in German) is not something you have in English, it's a bit like the Vietnamese "kh",
so poor Adolph's last name was probably so long mispronounced as either Ricken-bucker or Ricken-baker, he finally gave up and aligned the writing of his name with one of the mispronunciations.
In Germany today, we don't use the original "ch" tone anymore when pronouncing Rickenbacker - we pronounce it as Ricken-bucker. Ricken-baker is seldom, but not unknown.

In Israel many have pronounced Sadowsky as Sa-dov-ski, there are many here of Jewish Polish origins with this name who keep the Polish pronunciation.
How else is it pronounced? I'd pronounce it that way too. Saidoff-ski?
1/16" Maple on the face and 3/16" mahogany on the back?I have no idea how I ame upwith 1/4" difference, in my defense it was late at night. It's a strong 1/8" thinner than my other birds. I am going to do a 1/8" maple cap. Measure twice cut once as they say. :o
I was thinking maybe Alembic-style veneers.I'm considering that, I have some aircraft grade plywood that might work well.
