Hey there UU! I thought I would post pics of/during my next build. Hopefully I will get some good/constructive feedback along the process.
At is point not very far along other than a bunch of rough cuts. He first biggest hurtle was simply deciding what wood I wanted to use from my stash! Lol.
Rough cuts:
For this one I am going to go with some;
-top-curly redwood (I have been sitting on this, just waiting to use!)
-back and sides-bubinga (still on the fence with this decision)
-neck-sapele
-bracing-spruce
-lining-sapele
-fret board and bridge-rose wood
-binding-curly mango (this would change if I end up god for mango for back and sides obviously)
I guess first off what do you think of the wood selection? i do have some mango and am curious to any bodies thoughts for using it as back and sides instead of the bubinga. I haven't used either wood but both seem like they have decent tonal qualities and look pretty too. I think the mango is a little more flashy especially since it is curly and splalted to some degree.
Here is the mango is have.
I'd like to hear any bodies two cents on the two woods, experience or even just personal opinions?
