I use whatever I can get my hands on.
These two guitars are made from hoop pine, which I think is from Queensland?
But I actually prefer to use alder.
Occasionally I will come across Tasmanian timbers like blackwood, huon pine and King Billy pine.
Blackwood is
Like, I know some people really like koa for tops and stuff, but why would you want that when you can get comparatively pretty sustainable and affordable blackwood that looks waaaaaaay nicer?

Don't think so.
It would be Canadian Birdseye maple.

That's a switch cavity. It will have 2 slide switches in there.

Yes I did. I actually had to scale it up slightly. It wasn't quite to scale.

That's a lovely green! Similar to what I've been planning to finish my Offset Telecaster design from Deed_Poll in. Do you know what that shade's called?

Thanks!
Just for the record, This C-Bird is being finished elsewhere by someone else.
I would love to be able to do such a professional job like this.
