I am building a couple guitars this winter... If you guys want to see the build - I can post one here...

Choices:
Lutz/Osage orange Gibson AJ inspired
Cedar/Mahogany 3/4 size Stella (x-braced)
Sitka/White Oak Harmony GC (ladder braced).

If you're going to build all three why not post all three? I would.

Hard to argue with that.

Build them all! If only one then I'd like to see the white oak one.

I already changed my mind, I think the 3/4 cedar/mahogany would be interesting. The white oak next and then the osage orange. Completely opposite from what I picked a couple of hours ago.

If I only get to pick one, it would be the lutz/Osage orange one.

Here's a tonewood tease.... Hopefully it stimulates some voting/interest in this thread - which is depressing so far..

Lutz/Osage with a sneak peak at the rosette.




WRC/Hog (sold as African, most likely Sapele)



Sitka/QS white oak with a finish experiment teaser..

Nice! I love the lacewood rosette, that's not easy to inlay perfectly without binding, looks real clean, nice job.

Probably would have gotten more votes if you included an option for "all of them"
But if it has to be one, I always love osage orange.
