has wood for you
I'm really glad you were able to source a biece that big.
And who gave him that idea?
Somewhere between a rosewood and ebony. It's quite bright, but not exactly harsh, and it does retain some sweetness to it (with a gigantic IMO).
Who the fuck is using that ziricote?

Pretty much what they've said. I'll add that for the neck, I think it will be good for note definition and clarity.
also, i would NEVER consider using this wood for a neck with a headstock. this shit is HEAVY. i know ziricote is very dense, and i knew it was gonna be heavy. but i was still shocked at how much this weighed when i picked the package up. this blank weights 9.5 lbs!!

i still have the second "unclaimed" piece of Redwood Burl that was cut from the same billet as that one. i think that's gonna be for me personally, with one of those magnificent Ziricote boards

Never have I gassed so hard over wood.
Im thinking a ziricote fretboard, maple/bubinga neck, mahogany body, spalted maple top.

Bubinga is a very amazing tone wood. i first got into listening for tone in woods with drums, and Bubinga became my favorite wood for drums. it's so full and rich, with just enough top end. it's a shame it's not used more in guitars. i'd like to change that
but that sounds like a good setup man, should be nice.

Yeah, sadly funding for it is quite a way away, I think I might pick up a second job or something for a while.
My '99 s7420 has a bubinga and maple neck, sounds well rad, look purty too
