Alright everyone, I need your help this time. Based off of recent builds that I've seen lurking around the forums. I've decided to snag another Skervesen, but this time a Swan, an 8 string, with fanned frets.
Although I do have one SERIOUS problem. I need help with deciding woods. I've pretty much narrowed it down to 2 combos. But nothing is set in stone.
1.) Cocobolo Fret/Spalted Maple top
2.) Albino Ebony Fret/Spalted Walnut top
Cocobolo:
Albino Ebony
Spalted Walnut: (Raptor on the left)
We all pretty much know what Spalted Maple looks like, so no pics there
I'm also a bit undecided on body wood, although I'm currently leaning towards Mahogany, but HOLY SHIT that sapele that angus posted on his Raptor is SUPER sexy. Just not familiar with it, or it's tendencies rather, and would like to have more knowledge before choosing for it.
Let me know what you guys think, or if anyone has better ideas, shoot.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
