CEO7 build? or L00? or?
So, I've purchased a (sort of) CEO7 kit from one of the forum members. It consists of martin seconds, a CEO7 Adirondack top, two mahogany backs, and a set of hog sides pre-bent and glued up with the blocks in a CEO7 shape, and a nearly finished CEO7 type neck. I'm playing with different ideas on finishing it. One direction is to try to go with an authentic 1930's L00 look - no back binding, small Gibson headstock shape ( not sure if this can be cut from the Martin shape or not?), stained sunburst rather than sprayed, etc. OR - custom, with perhaps wood bindings, full body sunburst, maybe a torch or flowerpot headstock inlay. Hmmm......
What are your thoughts? any suggestions? Other ideas? Let me hear what you think!

My only thought is to leave the headstock alone. Cutting that Gibson shape is hard to get right.

Well, apparently you are the only one that actually thinks anything! lol...I think my approach is going to be a style 18 type of finish. No sunburst,(maybe some aging toner though), tortise bindings, basically a 00SS version of the 000-18. KISS method always works out well.
