Orpheo, Please check your e-mail.

Thanks!

well, everything's sorted out I believe! We decided (well, I did) on singlepiece back. already ordered the pickups aswell. very curious to see how it will turn out!

So what wood combo did you end up going for?

Multilam backs are one of the LEAST desirable Gibson features.  But I think this is mostly because the "pancake" bodies came from the Norlin era and people don't like the Norlins... it's not because a multilam back is better or worse.

Personally I like one-piece backs....

I know, but if you're a bit into an alembic-guitars, you'll love multi lam backs, haha. at least, vertical, not horizontal! as it was quoted at first, it would be 5 piece horizontal, not vertical: not my cup 'o tea!

@markoooo: I ended up with: exactly the same purpleheart top on rosewood back, but a 2 piece back. I really would've digged a singlepiece, but that would be as expensive as the entire guitar; kinda overboard huh? this is the best compromis between looks/esthetics, tone and my wallet the neck remained the same, but with an ebony overlay.

Ahh, I think I missed the part where you decided on the woods..

But hey! Rosewood is what I suggested in the 1st or 2nd response to your original post.. and see your reply... hehehehehe... :laughing7: :icon_tongue:

Rosewood as back is not what i want. I need a hard wood for the back and a softer one on top.

that sentiment still stands. but the 'love' for nice woods was stronger than any other sentiment, haha.
