Here is where it changes. Seems like my original plans might be thwarted. After visiting my Luthier relative he convinced me to do a veneer as the basswood doesnt have much character..
Hes given me 2 to choose from. So will have to have a rethink on the colours im going to use. What do you guys think? I want to do the headstock in the same veneer.
Northern California Claro Walnut (on the left) and Zebrano or Zebra Wood (on the right)
I also have English Sycamore but that seems to be a bit light. May use that on the back if the front goes ok and i get a bit more adventurous.
