(wood was wetted for some of the pics)
*heres the carved top piece of wood im using, its 8/4 Bolivian Rosewood (aka morado). will be ripped bookmatched*
*heres the back/neck of the guitar. 4/4 Macassar Ebony, real nice stuff, due to width restrictions the back will have to be laminated.
the wood looks ALOT more red in those pics than it actually is, look at the group of 3 to see the real looking brown/black tones.
