A custom SSJ model built is started. This guitar will use Adirondack spruce top, padauk side and back, and Mahogany neck. This time, I made a new Rosetta design using sported Tamarindo and padauk. I also installed a Madagascar RW center strip in the padauk back. Padauk has very nice metallic tap-tone like a Brazilian RW. However, padauk is much lighter than rose wood. Also, grains are straight, and almost no clacking issues. Padauk is not oily, and the sanding work is very easy. For me, this is one of the best guitar materials. Only one negative side is that this material is toxic. I have to be very careful about the sanding work for the dust management.
