I've built furniture with Hackberry (locally harvested and properly dried) and had some real issues with it moving around especially in the figured areas where I saw cracks develop over a few years. This was less of an issue with furniture but I'd be very concerned about using it for an instrument and wonder how the figured wood will be for tonal response as it seemed pretty dead to me. Best wishes. It will be beautiful either way.
