Attractive back and sides, post pics of your favorite
Holy click bait Batman! .....Sorry for the lame attempt at being humorous but I'm hoping to see some examples of really attractive wood, specifically guitar backs.
Of the guitars I own my favorite is the ovangkol on the back of my Taylor DN4. It has very distinct grain pattern but I love the flame that overlays. Show me yours.

I'm not too proud to admit that after buying my SCGC and H&D, I wanted my next purchase to have "interesting" figuring on the back and sides. The first two guitars were made totally with my ears and hands, and both sound and play amazing. But they also both have very straight grain EIR b/s.
Luckily I found two guitars that also sound great *and* have interesting figuring. Fortunately they're both short scale so they offer something else the others don't, and one is a 00 size so it's yet another differentiator in terms or tone, comfort and playability to the others in the arsenal.  Martin 000 Style 18 custom shop sinker mahogany. It's darker than what it looks like in the picture. But it's got that sweet mahogany tone in spades!  Martin 00 Style 28 custom shop cocobolo b/s.

Just some typical Brazilian RW from 1960 on this 00-28G donor guitar for conversion. It will be rebraced, refretted, herringbone added to the top, neck narrowed to 1-3/4", fretboard radiused, and tuning machines replaced for steel string use.
[IMG]  [/IMG]This 1900 00-30 looks pretty good too. (No conversion required.) [IMG]  [/IMG]
