| the first two picks are supposedly Carpathian Elm Burl, the rest are White Oak Burl. I don't like formica and I looked at solid wood but that got a bit expensive so I went with the veneer. |

Excellent wood! You know, all the lacquer push pulls are veneer and it's just fine. In fact, some say using straight grain maple covered with veneer actually sounds better (rumor). I know my lacquer PP sound amazing so maybe there is something to that. Someday I want to do up a Push pull in Brazilian Rosewood Veneer 
Cheers

I have been playing 6 string for 50 years and I learned a long time ago tone comes from within. A good guitarist will make a poor guitar sing and a poor guitarist will make a good guitar sound like, well. I doubt the wood or formica etc has very little to do with it and take that with a grain of salt. |

To me it's like the amplifiers I build, It's the sum of the parts and design that counts.
