Very Interesting Sir ! So, call it urban legend or conventional wisdom or old wives tales, but I have consistently heard that when it comes to BRW, you want the tight, straight grained rather than figured as the former will produce the best tone. You seems to be suggesting otherwise. I understand the luthier component to tone you mentioned, but thought straight, tight grain producing the best tone in BRW was one of the few "etched in stone" rules in Lutherie.
Thanks
