Re: Beautiful maple
I've always loved the backs of my German-made Hofners. It's kind of like every bass has its own totally individual fingerprint.

Re: Beautiful maple
One of my former twelve-strings had a cedar top and silky oak back and sides. Pretty wood!

Re: Beautiful maple
I had a solid rosewood Harrison Telecaster for a while. It was pretty heavy, but had some of the nicest woodwork that I've ever seen come out of Fender.

Re: Beautiful maple
Ooooh! That’s one guitar I’d like to own, so I avoid to prevent purchase. I sure don’t need one.
Something about the way a nice Tele sounds, though. And I have this Fender amp it would sound nice through.
Ah, well. I suppose I can settle for this trashy Les Paul...

Re: Beautiful maple
No doubt there is some beautiful wood here. For me, I like the figure to be a good match for the project. A guitar back of book matched wood should be right for the size of the instrument or project. A mandolin and a dreadnought need figure of a different scale to look best. A small project like a hand mirror needs a figure that is complete in a small space and a broach needs an even smaller figure. A larger project like a cabinet panel likes a large figure that is complete in a large space but would not even be visible in a small project. Bookmatch can either be great or an affront to the eye if the joint lacks continuity or stands out too much.Comment
