I'm looking forward to following this build. Wonderful looking set of woods. I've seen photos of a guitar or two built with fiddleback Cuban Mahogany (I think one was a Bown).
Cuban Mahogany is a great tonewood. To me, it seems to keep the typical Honduran Mahogany trebles but has a richer and more focused bass. The luthier who built mine said Cuban Mahogany was typically about 15-20% more dense than Honduran Mahogany , and the particular set of Cuban Mahogany I chose was about 20% more dense than typical Cuban Mahogany. Mine was sourced from Brad Goodman, and came from a tree that was downed in St. Thomas by hurricane Hugo.
