If I had won that 1.5 billion the other day in the lottery, I would have him build one for me from every set he has there!

Tom you are correct about John’s vocabulary and phrasing And, Thanks for the vote of confidence on the Bubinga!!! Knowing your Bsox are knocked off is with yours is pretty impressive. Woohoo Here’s a pic of the prospective top. Tunnel 14 Redwood with mineral streaking flames on it!!! SMOKIN’ 20230814_155201.jpg I told John I wanted a top with “character” that rang his bell and he sent this pic a few minutes later… Oh, My!!! Paul

Great choices, I love those stained tops. I rejected a perfect redwood top once because it was perfect going for a dark stained one that I love!

Yum--Redwood!
Love the redwood! And what better to go with the REDwood than Padauk! Lol
Looking forward to watching John create this one!

Paul, what do you mean, “Just one more?” You know this one will be the boss bomb, and you’ll be rawkin’ so much you’ll have to get another. And another. And….
In fact, my brother’s policy is after the 5th guitar, he gives future orders away. He’s just that fine a feller. So I’d start thinking in multiples—certainly not just “one more”. |

I'd have been very tempted by the Tiger Myrtle (red myrtle). But both Padauk and Bubinga are superlative tonewoods.
