Just out of curiosity, what kind of wood combos go well with a maple top? I've never built with a maple top before and have no idea. What are the charactoristics of its sound? Thanks! John |

John, I think this is more for a solid body electric? Jeff |

Thanks Lance. I was hoping for thicker. I am building a small archtop instrument similar in size to a mandola but strung as a 12 string guitar with the nut at the 5th fret. A Mandotar! That incredible mando sound with instant guitar player fingerboard faminliarity. And maybe even a little more range. |
