This is certainly going to be interesting. Personally, I'd have gone with an Adirondack spruce top but to each their own. I hope that the top turns out to be responsive enough but I have no doubt that Tim will make it so. I wonder how thin the top will be, though?
One thing's for certain: the Deacon is a fun size to play and I bet the hardwood top gives it a nice focused and "thumpy" bass.
