[QUOTE=Billy T] I think you missed the point, I think it's a GREAT idea. Mix all kinds of woods for scent of the wood.

Kind of a "Sniffitar®". (patent pending)

[quote=Old Man]Billy, make a plywood guitar and put some pot pouri in the soundhole. [/quote]

I love the BC effect visually on a guitar. but when thinking about tops stiffness is what turns me on. backs and sides on the other hand play a lesser role in the overall response of the guitar so if asked by a client is it best to have a high figure top with high figure back and sides or a tight grain stiff top with high figure back and sides I would go with the later. The longer I build the more I lean toward distinctive but elegant not gaudy tonewood schemes For example the Narra/Carp I posted is my idea elegant flash. a BC D-45 with some high figure back and sides would be gaudy. you can use extreme rem zoot and still keep it elegant, not flashyMichaelP39020.6746412037

At least until everyone does it.
