Bill sent a picture of his favorite guitar. It has a "midnight blue" finish over what appeared to be straight maple. He wanted SongTowers to match.
But, of course, our "standard" maple happens to be curly. So if we were going for a close match, we would have to order ordinary straight maple (boring in comparison).
After a bit of discussion, Bill decided to stick with our curly maple.
Here are the results...

And a close-up...

Happy listening Bill!
