I finally got around to building a "serious" guitar. No pieces nor parts from Home Depot in this one.
The top is Redwood, the back and sides are Mexican Rosewood, the neck is Spanish Cedar, and the fret board is Cocolobo. I used a common Martin-style X-bracing, with a mix of Spruce and Spanish Cedar.
I love the sound of the Redwood top, it half-way between Spruce and Cedar. Spruce tends to sound a little harsh, Cedar a little soft. Redwood is just right.
The Mexican Rosewood is very pretty, the photos do not due it justice. I especially like the subtle red flame in the Cocolobo fret board.
