Marko is going to the wood suplier tomorrow, to pich up the Wenge and alder and place an order for the Birdseye maple and and Figured Walnut.

Figured walnut (this is the top wood for the body)



(Birdseye Maple used for the fretboard)




(Wenge Used for the Neck)



(Alder used for the Body wood)

Note: This is Scandanavian Alder, some Alders are lighter, so this may differ in colour to the actual wood being used. I will know once i see pictures of the wood from Marko.
