opinions on top wood

Nice top.

I wonder how it'd look if reversed...

Peace, JP

 

oooooooo, I like that wood and Jack is a cool luthier. Congrats looks like you have something amazing in the works.

BTW, if I ever get enough money put together, I'd like to have a bass with a redwood burl top.

 

Nice!!! Go for it!!

 

That wood does look like it would make an amazing top. Definitely has a unique look to it. I think its your responsibility to use a piece that nice.

 

Very nice wood. Its purrrty.

 

Just a personal preference - Does he have more boards so the doggone neck-through can be hidden underneath the top ??? I have a nice neck-through but the top is all cocobolo.

I hate to see that bookmatch look broken up by the big clunky neck running down the middle. The crotch is too gorgeous to separate, IMO.

 

Yes, I much prefer full tops (and your Cocobolo Queen DP ns about the most gorgeous piece of coco I've ever seen).

 

That crotch you have lined up is a hard act to follow!!! Really great symmetry!

I especially like those diamond-shaped lighter areas on the lower 2/3rds.

 

I absolutely agree - that's a fine piece of maple. I wouldn't break it up with a neck thru look.

I could go either way on this one. That is a gorgeous specimen !

 

very nice.

 

While I'm flattered that you like my crotch, I think you have me confused with the thread starter.

 

I wouldn't want to know what your crotch looks like.

 

Crotch or no crotch, I never liked the look of a neckthrough. NIce top wood; cover the neckthrough.

God luck.

 

Ding-ding....I did mean Taustin's.

 

Man, that crotch maple is a sweet piece of wood! I also like that configuration there; the neck is all covered in nice wood, but it's more interesting than a full top.....but if there's enough wood, a full top wouldn't be bad at all!
