estebanana -> I've got a woody situation; stripes, which color? ( Multi panel back Topic ) (Jan. 6 2015 19:55:27)

I have a choice on the cedar topped negra I'm building right now: The back set I have is small, not wide enough, so it has to have a wide separator dart in the middle like a Bellido family guitar often does. I've made three or more like that because I like the look. But this one can be one of the following combos: Rosewood with Cypress center, Cypress with rosewood center Rosewood with rosewood center Palo Escrito rosewood with dark rosewood center. The Palo Escrito is more than tempting, but is it too far out? It would be like ordering Black & Tan in a bar. ( Guiness with a lighter beer under it, sometimes called a half & half) The cypress back seems like gimmick, and too loud. A cypress center strip seems brash as well, but a dark rosewood strip on dark rosewood seems plain and undistinguished. Unless maybe it has thin binding lines on each side of the center strip, but then it gets busy.
