So i am going to try to make a replica of a suhr Reb Beach model guitar to my specs of course (Below) I have some Questions for those who want to share there thoughts...
1) My plan was for a solid mahogany body with a Flame Koa top , i was informed that a chamberd body might be a better way to go any pros and cons to this?
2) I want this guitar to sound as close to the warmth of a paul as i can with the comfort of a strat anything in the specs that might hold this back?
3) Pau Ferro might be to bright for the neck? Not a fan of bright necks..
4) Sorry for all the questions im new to DIY projects.

If you don't want the brightness of a pao ferro neck, but want the raw feel of the original reb beach, you should go for solid rosewood. it sounds warm like mahogany.
 
Pau Ferro = Brazilian Rosewood???????  :icon_scratch: :tard:
