I'm building an acoustic short scale 22" Bass.
I was wondering if there is a preference as to sound board wood. I have the choice of Spruce, Redwood and Mahogany.
I would also like a wound nylon/silk core strings. I have set but the "ball" end is not suitable as I don't want to use a tailpiece anchor. Can the ball be cut off with out subsequent unwinding?
