Kevin was kind (and patient!) enough to let me peruse a bunch of other woods they use, and gently nudged me toward Padauk. At first I glazed over it because the grain pattern isn't all that interesting. You may have the same reaction to the piece I just selected:
 But then he sent me a photo of a finished one. Behold:  I was instantly smitten AND it lets me have the red back/sides I prefer. So NOW the waiting officially begins!

That looks just delicious. I’m second-guessing my colour choice...

Exquisite book-matching and marvelous color. Lots of good decision making here--the result being a one-off musical piece of art.

It would be cool if some forum member could juxtapose Wicked's current and insipient woodies.
