after we're done with our Braz/Sinker build of course. Are we doing that one first, and the Monkeypod second, or vice-versa?
Was that Brazilian or African Blackwood ? or both

Cheers,

Aha! My mind was thinking African Blackwood but my fingers typed Braz.

African or Monkey? Not to be confused with an African Monkey of course!

Either one is fine with me, we've got some time to figure it out....On another note, Rick's guitar is coming along nicely, my camera took a dive recently so I'm shopping for a new one to post the most recent progress pics of his guitar.

Cheers,

Yeah! He popped into my office earlier to give me an update, and when I asked him if you had sent pics, he told me that you camera was out of commission. He said he gave you a recommendation on a camera replacement. Talk with ya later

What sort of tone does Sinker give? Is it between Cedar and Spruce or is it a different type all togeather?

All I know is, that is going to be a gorgeous guitar.

Closer to cedar than spruce with more overtones, fullness and low end resonance..IMHO
