This guitar will likely be like your other builds...amazingly pleasing to the eye and also to the tonal pallet. I'll be interested to watch it develop!

Thanks Woody,
It's certainly my pleasure to work with these woods. The variety is endless and quite inspirational!

Would you notice much tonal difference, or build differently, in cedar vs redwood used with walnut in an OMish body? Or, do you tend to use cedar vs redwood depending on what type of walnut you use (black, bostogne, claro)?

Thanks ChuckS,
I find for the way I build, that Redwood wants to be a little brighter and have a bit more overtones then Cedar. I would more quickly match Redwood up with a softer Claro than the harder Bastogne. That all depends on what we're going for though. Generally, if I felt I needed to bump up the treble over what I'd expect from cedar, Redwood would be a consideration.
Sorry, that's a bit vague but I guess it should be like that in the world of generalizations.
