Building 2 000-28VSs, one 6, one 12 string. Both spruce tops/silky oak back/sides. Back is 3-piece (don't have big enough pieces of oak). First Guitars (made lots of Ukes).
I have both Qld Maple and Silky oak suitable for the neck. Maple is lighter, silky oak stiffer and better figure. Any thoughts? I have used both successfully for tenor and soprano ukuleles, and stiffness for both is adequate given it is a truss rod instrument.
Can I use silky oak or maple for top bracing too if I run out of spruce?
Cheers,
Damien
