I've done one such build (Doerr) and the collaboration and connections along with learning a whole lot were just wonderful, not to mention the guitar.



Just as an aside, Walnut often gets pared with Redwood here in the US (and elsewhere?) and is known as a killer combination. I think the basics are what your builder has for experience and reaction to this.......and, that there is "redwood" and then there is REDWOOD. A wide variety, but the best redwoods, with great build properties and some of the signature redwoods (Tunnel 13, 14, LS) bring a lot to the table and stand on their own for superior sound qualities.

Just a thought! Will be sure to follow your build!

Thanks Fred - it’s a lot of fun but also a lot of responsibility to get it right!

I have never played redwood - it’s a £400 upgrade for this build but I will certainly consider it.
