    From my limited wood knowledge.

    Looks like Queensland Maple sides, and some Burred Blackwood ? Top.

    Going to be a semi Bass, judging by the thickness

    Please tell me the Blue tapering around the edges is some fancy tape, and not Binding.

    Tony wins!
    Blackwood back and sides, myrtle burl top semi acoustic/electric hybrid multiscale mind bending 6 stringer...
    Why?
    Because I choose to.
    Over building boring clones of other guitars.
    And yes, red and blue binding... I know, red and blue shouldn't work together but I have an annoying habit of mixing colours that shouldnt work together... Used to drive my teachers mental at Art School every time I pulled that off....
    Just wait and see, it will all come together in the end

    Oh, as a side note, I have already had three offers on this build with one guy saying shut up and take my money as he tried to stuff a nice fat roll of big green coloured notes in my shirt pocket...

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
