Quilted maple bookmatched top veneer and bookmatched headstock veneer, mahogany neck and body, quilted sapele fretboard (which is nuts when wet, the pictures don't do it justice). Never been a 'figuring' fiend in the past, but thought I'd give one a bash with some really obnoxiously grained wood!
I think the maple veneer is thick enough to do a little weight reduction underneath it which is fortunate. And for a piece of mahogany, I really like the patterning on the body blank.
That is some really loud figuring indeed. Related to that my build will be a little more subdued.
But then again I have some Purple stain ordered. And I need to buy some aluminium sheet metal.
Let's see, let's see...
I got a delivery for my Mockingbird...
