As I tend to be conservative, I play it safe with like woods and am reticent to experiment. If you want to be bold, by all means go for it. After all, it is your baby...and you must please yourself first. I imagine it'll look great, so go for it! Roger always does nice work, and he'll make it right if you don't like what he comes up with.
Promise us here at the Club that when you get famous after your stint at Berklee that you don't forget the little people who have to work at a boring regular job, LOL!
FWIW, For my Series, we're gonna go with a real hippie sandwich knob...tophats in maple base, mahogany lam, PH lam, quilt maple top and MOP inlayed lines. I just have to verify that the tophats will fit (I'll use my spare THG's I had made for the Orion). The pointer knobs are still undecided though. Maybe an all MOP top with either maple or mahogany or PH as a solid wood, or maybe a sandwhich of PH and maple? Who knows! Either way, I'll have enough knobs made that I can convert to Series II and still have the knob situation covered...or at least I'll have spares.
