I've seen lots about top woods but how about back woods?
I like the look of quilted maple but have been told that when using it as a backwood you would want to use an MOP nut and a cast tailpiece to gain back the top end.
Does this wood make that much of a difference?
Im in the process of ordering a mandolin but dont want make a choice of woods that will effect the sound of the instrument.
Woods I'm looking at are Quilted, Bubble and Quarter sawn Maple.
Thanks for help
