and the wings are tapered.... thinner at the edge then where they join the centre. That makes an authentic replica a step too far for me... but most never notice either of those features

I wasn't planning on tapering the wings either as it's too much effort. It's going to be scaled down anyway as it's for my 5yo granddaughter.
Your lacquer will be with you tomorrow, thanks for the order. I've added a second clear gloss in case you need it.
here is my firebird with but jointed non-tapered body wings. I don't think it suffers for it

There's things I've had, there's things I wanna have"
i actually think a shell pink firebird would look fairly awesome

I suspect Gibson only went with the V joins as a reliable way to align them each time. If just doing one it's easier to put the effort into aligning them when gluing up

By the way , if you haven't started the body already, I'm almost certain I have a part built body made from Alder in the workshop somewhere ( (I think it was going to be a Firebird Tele or Jazzmaster Firebird), I'm not in the workshop till Tuesday , but if you're interested I will photograph it and put it up on the site. There might even be a neck to go with it, I'll let you know.
