I'm building my first guitar, so far I have a Goncalo Alves neck with a Pau ferro fretboard and SS frets. Has anyone out there built a Strat with that kind of neck? Was looking for some opinions on body wood with that combination. Was also Wondering about solid vs chambered what kind of sound difference do you really acheive. Another question I have is about the finsh - due you really see any benefit in sound quality going with a nitro finish? I play the blues, rock, country, but no heavy metal - I'm looking for more of a warm bluesy sound but also wan't her to scream when I get the need. I know that tone is very subjective, but value thoughts from those who have traveled this road before me. Thanks.
