... I originally thought the wood type for the body would make the most difference in sound, but it turns out it really doesn't...
I disagree. Not always but most times
I play a guitar I can guess the type of body wood. Korina/Mahogany has a signature sound, hard to miss it.

I actually was pretty set on getting the Universal (pool) routing done on it. Most people who go down that path seem pretty content with their guitars. One question about the mahogany neck though: they mention something about putting on a finish at the same time they're making the body so it will match. Can they put an alpine white finish on the neck if I order it at the same time as the body? What's the deal with that? I found that little bit of info when clicking the "Help" question mark next to the finish dropdown box option thing on the neck builder in case I sound crazy. Also any particular reason for mahogany and maple top?
Universal is fine, even takes weight off the guitar.
When it comes to matching colors they do that so the color of the body looks 100% like the neck color. To match... :icon_smile:
Mahogany and maple top is a classic proven combination in guitar world. Check how many companies do it.
