Hey, Fresh Start2. I'm in the exact same boat, except my body is a slightly different tint than the maple. However, I've had the exact same problems and as the very least, a rather similar goal. I found that 2/3 Cherry, 1/3 Scarlet or perhaps a 3/4 Cherry, 1/4 Scarlet should actually be a fine mix. Try it out on samples first of course, but this is how I got around that very same problem. Good luck!
