Hopefully this amuses rather than offends, but this is always what pops first into my mind when people mention Birdseye maple...

Thanks Steve! I've never used Maple before on acoustic guitars outside of bridge plates and veneers so I'm curious to see the results. However I have worked with it a bunch when making necks for electric guitars. Thanks for watching! Last edited by Stephen Strahm; 07-06-2017 at 11:18 PM. |
