Default Poling Commission

I've been in discussions with Brock Poling and have recently commissioned a Poling Sierra model. The guitar will have Cuban Mahogany back and sides and a Lutz Spruce top. Most likely will add a soundport. At this point more detailed specs are being put together, along with capturing what I'd like for the tone of the guitar.

When the guitar gets started I'll start a build thread. At this point all I can share is my builder selection process, and how the interaction with Brock has worked. So, feel free to contact me with questions.

Anybody have experience with a compound radius fretboard?

Not much to look at yet, except for the Cuban Mahogany that was selected. Brock said this set is very old, very well quartered, and even denser than other cuban sets.
