We prefer to get lumber, actually. For any of the basses that fit Series I electronics, the minimum dimensions are:
7.25 x 22 x 1
The one inch thickness allows us to get a matching veneer set for the peghead. add 2 inches to the width if you are looking for a bookmatch to center.
We're able to use most hardwoods - of course, if we've never used it before, we won't have any advice to offer about the woods influence on the tone of the finished product. If the particular wood you propose has some historic problems, we'll let you know.
Generally we use 1/8 accent laminates under the top. For a figured standard wood like Bocate, there would be a small charge.
Don't worry about the questions at all! It's much better to get all the thinking abot the design done before you order, sometimes changes after we've started construction aren't practical and can seriously change the delivery date.
