Time to select the woods. The figure in the Koa really varies from light to dark. I think having the Ebony black fretboard will help set that off especially contrasting against a very pale Swiss Spruce top. I'm using Cocobolo for the binding, tuner buttons, top crossgrain purfling, and bridge which I think will suggest the red in the Koa. Black and Maple purfling all around will help tie it all together. Here is a pic of the raw woods:



Thanks for viewing
