Got Wood?

2/18/14

Or I mean got Would?

I am not entirely certain that I will ever settle on this decision.  There are limitless combinations of tone woods available and even more limitless tone wood grain structure. 
Since this is my first guitar and I am a long way from claiming any sort of knowledge in the subject I am going to select an Adirondack (red cedar) sound board and Mahogany for the back and sides.  Although Curly Port Orfard Cedar is a close second.  Since my only resource so far is the book and online blogs and forums this is going to be kind of a shot in the dark but at the same time sticking with what I already know sounds good. Plus the wood is easy to work with and bend, which will be a very important fact in keeping Brimley out of the picture.
