Stunning workmanship Terry, as ever! WOW

Incredible! Lucky fellow this Don Hunt Jr.!

Outstanding doubleneck!!!
Complete with Bigsby and violin tailpiece.
Lucky Don!

The acoustic is real pretty too.

Is the body a bit smaller than your normal doublenecks? Fantastic as usual Terry.

Thanks for asking and your comment. The last 4 guitars have used the same template with this one having the upper bout ever so slightly cut back in a bit. Over the years the body has gotten a bit smaller overall. The first few are tracings from the Ernie Odom guitar made in 1959 (which was a tracing of Larry Collins guitar) which is the one Deke has now and has a 17" body. My own "Maphis" was built kinda by memory and has an 18" body. A few were made at 16 1/2". I've pretty well settled on the shape you see here which is a 16" body. I have the original Bob Regan doubleneck that Semie made about 1957 which has a 16 1/2 breadth. I never measured Joe Maphis's but would imagine it would be in the 16 1/2 range.
