On a Sho-Bud D10 Rack & Barrel guitar, are the changer fingers different for the E9th neck and the C6th neck (like a P/P)?
Or are they the same length?
What is the exact thickness of the top deck wood, and are both E9th and C6th top decks the same thickness?
If hardrock or birdseye maple is not available, what alternative wood could be used for the top decks?
Thanks guys |

Nic, the changers on a Sho-Bud, including the Professionals, are all the same length. The top decks are 3/4" on both necks. I have no idea what could be substituted for the decks.

Thanks Leon, that makes life a lot easier. 
It also means that I can use normal stock for the wood.

Tiger Stripe Maple or Birdseye Maple or Curly Maple.

Nic, get the wood from a reputable dealer, and be sure to find out the moisture content. The last thing you wanna see is the wood doin' somethin' funky after it's been installed. Seal all sides and endgrains. Where you're located, you might find some very interesting species to use. Just make sure it's thoroughly dried!

Would Ash or Birch be suitable as well?
