I completed a matching (almost) partner to the walnut 7mm roundtop. Notice any modifications? I know the clips don't match. I was just happy to get the bodies to match.
Hmmm...other than the CB being slightly thicker and the fact that the woods seem to almost be different species, I can't see much of a different between them.
I did mess up the thickness of the CB. The blanks were from adjoining sections of walnut. It is a trick of light taht they look so different. They are cut from a section with heartwood and sapwood which gives each one a very subtle color shift from light tan, then a gray stripe then a deeper brown with a redish tint. I wish I could have matched the clips.
