I think Rob is probably the best person to help you through that decision. For one, I'm not familiar those woods, for another, I've never heard a single electric mandolin, much less enough to know how the wood might affect the tone. My guess is that the electronics make much more of a difference, but that's just an educated guess. Work with your luthier. That's what he's there for. And post pictures when you get it!!! Jay |
