Holy Galloping Zebrawood!

Ever since Don Alder bought my Concert Nylon I've been looking forward to building another for myself. Zebrawood is from western Africa. Of the woods I've handled, I'd say it's most like myrtle, having medium density and hardness and a course grain structure. I'm pairing it with a very beautiful Italian Alpine Spruce top that I got from LMI. It's extraordinarily lightweight.
