I am new here, and read part of a thread about a dude who cut a limb off his cherry tree and wanted to make a body from it. I love cherry, and as a furniture builder, I usually have some left over from a project. I recently glued up a strat body out of solid cherry. The tone is good, and I personally feel that most any wood will have particular characteristics related to tone. The strat turned out great, and it is really beautiful as well. But here is my question for you all:
I have been experimenting with one wood type on the face and another on the back. (two 3/4 thicknesses glued up together) I am hope to capture the tone qualities of the combination while making the face side of some exotic wood, like lacewood or other figure-grained woods for appearance. Has anyone done this already and what results have you had with tone?
Thanks.
