I think pear is a bloody close substitute for holly. Its not uncommon to see a pear like pink tinge on stripped gibsons. possibly rom the age and finishing /stripping processes
One of those details that it makes no sense to give any real thought since the woods are quite similar in the dimensions needed and colour is totally unimportant.
not like ebony, which could be seen as an actual upgrade

The main distraction was that solid rosewood neck I clued up last week. I decided the bandsaw it too shape then machine it to see what it was looking like. Then decided I had to shape the back of the neck get an idea what it looked like then I could check it over to see if there were any cracks. It’s looking pretty good and there are no cracks visible. I won’t do any more to it now I but move it around between the two workshops and back into my house so it goes through several temperature changes. The idea being if there are any cracks then the change of temperature and humidity will make any visible.
First thing tomorrow I will off on a wood buying expedition, Dougie of Black Machine has told me where there is some good quality Swamp Ash. I’ve telephone the company and they still have about 20 bodies left in stock. Unfortunately the price of the one-piece bodies is horrendous, the two-piece bodies are still a lot more then I’ve been paying but if the wood is good then you have to pay the price.
Photos of the rosewood neck. I have put some lemon oil on the neck to see what it will look like.

There's things I've had, there's things I wanna have"
I’ve been asked how much a rosewood neck similar to the one that I photographed would cost, to be honest I don’t really know. But I would have thought having asked the price of rosewood blanks I would need to make them, it would be in the region of £220, I don’t know if that’s a competitive price not. I don’t think I would make them any less than that.

A big thank you to Dave very much appreciated.
