Alright, so this is probably an ultimate dummy question, but: Maple most commonly used in necks = hard eastern maple, correct?
Maple used in bodies = soft maple?
Have only ever dealt with hard maple in my necks, but thinking of making a maple body, and for some reason I can't picture using hard maple for the body...it would be heavy and ridiculous on my tools. Am I correct in assuming that soft maple is the way to go?
