Everyone seems to drool over mandolins with highly-figured backs, sides, and necks... anybody have some insight into why no one seems to use maple for mandolin tops?
Personally, I'm not a big fan of spruce with a sunburst finish and I'd love to see something a bit different on the top. What really got me thinking was playing my Les Paul with a flamed maple top-- it's got way better tone than my other Les Paul.
Mando luthiers, help me out!
