Here is a Walnut Burst JP7. The body is made of alder, mahogany tone block, and maple top. The neck is mahogany. I'll get more BFR pictures up tomorrow!

:eek: That looks fantastic!!!



As a newbie, can someone please tell me what a "mahogany tone block" is and what impact it has on the tone? Does it warm up an otherwise bright alder body? :confused:

Wow...that is really perty. As much as I like the look, I think I prefer the unfinished neck - which means I can order an LE with a clear conscience! :D

Mike, the neck is Mahogany, so that may very well be unfinished.. just a different wood than we're used to seeing. Only the SLO folks know for sure!

robelinda,

that may be correct.. but I thought I also remembered Jongitarz talk about experimenting with different products for the wax/oil treatment on some non-maple wood, and they ended up using the same birchwood-casey products?

Ahh, someone 'official' will set us straight soon enough..:)
