Sunburst Top

Congratulations on the build. Is it really a 25.9" scale length, or was that a typo?

Have you had experience with cuban mahogany? What were the factors that caused you to choose it?

I also have a guitar commissioned with cuban mahogany (OM/grand concert size with Lutz top). Won't be done for quite some time though.
