Curly Redwood, curly Maple

Okay, here’s a combination that I haven’t shown before: Curly, old growth Redwood, and spalted, curly, Big Leaf Maple.  I used curly Koa for binding and the neck is curly, big leaf maple–it is almost translucent in real life.  I think that this is an acquired taste:  the instrument is “neutral”:  equal highs and lows, neither being dominant–strung as low “G”.  Can’t beat the curl though!
