Great choice of woods, by the way. Walnut often gets dismissed as a "lesser" tonewood.

Thanks! Ed build's profoundly great guitars out of any wood that he uses (congrats and thanks for sharing)...
.
Unfortunately, any hardwoods other than rosewood(s), mahoganies, maple(s) and koa are viewed by most guitarists as
"tastes like chicken" 
.
I selected the Claro Walnut back and sides and Italian Spruce top based on SCGC's recommendations as they reflected upon on my input as a player. I am likely a bit more wood agnostic/builder trusting than many players in that I have a number superb instruments made from odd hardwoods (e.g., Australian Blackwood, Black Cherry, Carved Back Flattops, Oregon Myrtle, Pernambuco etc.).
