One thing to keep in mind is that there are a number of different “figures” one sees in wood from the tree, and I think there have also been a number of high figure or quilted mahogany that is promoted as “Tree” material, although its hard to be 100% positive it is. The different figures have different properties, and all can be challenging to work.
While any “Tree” wood is good, what probably sets your guitar apart is the expertise appled by the luthiers at SCGC –
Good to know that beautiful F has found an appreciative home – after trying a few different all mahogany guitars from SCGC, I’ve settled on a wonderful ‘29 OM that has the balance I wanted between body size, and tonal response. So far, the SCGC light tension strings have been great, and I find they give the guitar a nice sparkle on the high end, and a full, responsive bass at the same time. I would be intrigued to try the medium tension on it, but these strings last so long, I know if I change them out I have to live with them for a few months at least, and I’m not really inclined to change something I like –
I’m in! I’m in!
Now that the bugs seem to be getting eorked out, I retract almost every disparaging thing I may have screamed about the mods and their possible parentge and the uncomfortable location I was thinking they could store their computer keyboards in –
Now, to figure out pics – 😉
