Thanks Tommy (and PeteMK1). This gives plenty of food for thought.






Man, I just thought of an idea for a finish-free axe (not that I'm going to do it anytime soon, but I really like the idea):

Body:
option 1: Rosewood back semi-hollow with Goncalo top
option 2: Goncalo back semi-hollow with Rosewood top

Neck:
option 1: Rosewood with Goncalo fb
option 2: Rosewood
option 3: Goncalo
option 4: Goncalo with Rosewood fb
option 5: Goncalo with Pao Ferro fb

Ill be thinking about the ups and downs (in theory) of various combos for guitar (and others for bass) over the coming months.

This is where Id really like to take my building if I can minimise the tonal risk.



[And, Tommys USACG is the only place where youd find genuine interest, and therefore care in the building partnership.]
