That’s nice looking Cedar. If you can buy enough to amortize the shipping costs over multiple pieces, that might take some of the sting out of the cost. If the yellow Cedar you’re talking about is the Nootka Cypress, then please don’t worry about grain width and just get some, if he has any tight grained available. Trust me on this, lol. The stuff I have is insanely tight grained and clear. It can make a very, very nice sounding Blanca. It smells good, works easy, and its purity can really highlight your craftsmanship. That’s part of what makes it attractive to me, it’s kind of the antithesis of the wild grained ooh ahhh stuff that people love to see, instead it’s just pure and beautiful. P.S. I believe the guitar that Simon had Anders make for him, which was featured in his film, has Nootka back and sides.
