It seems like your at the same place I was a couple years ago with your fascination with Pernambuco.
After considerable research and due diligence I asked Bruce to build with his best remaining set of P wood that he owned. It turned out to be a great decision and a great experience with Bruce. The guitar came out way beyond my expectations and very, very high up in my collection. You just can’t go wrong with Bruce if your seriously contemplating a build in Pernambuco (or any other wood). He has more experience with this tone wood than any luthier that I’m aware of and the voicing of his guitars is simply amazing. Best of luck on your search. |

All this talk of Myrtle has motivated me to ask John Kinnaird for another BIG Custom. I like the idea of a forgiving axe, as I make PLENTY of clams! Hahaha
Expect a build thread eventually... Salud Paul

Something else you may want to consider is a double top because it (can) yield the widest dynamic range if that is important to your unique playing style? |

I believe Padauk oxidizes and becomes less !RED! over time, but I totally get the first impression. Off-topic, but your comment reminded me of the 2nd date my wife and I ever went on - she wore bright purple pants that just interfered with my enjoying the evening, hehe. I got past it and 10 years later we are still together.
