Did you find that the extra density or changed elasticity of the body made any difference in the tone?
(assuming that the resin added density or changed elasticity)

Well, it makes Buckeye Burl sound a bit brighter.

Can the resin technique be used with quilt maple?

I haven't seen it, but I will ask my supplier about it. Mostly I see it on burl and heavily voided woods.

That's sweet!

There's a burl-&-resin Further in this month's ad in Vintage Guitar magazine (p. 29); if Ed McMahon should come knocking today, I'll fer shur be looking into it..................(oh, wait; darn, you, Ed!)

I've been informed this technique does not work on Quilted Maple - sorry Steve!

Here's the ad you saw! Always looks even nicer on the screen. This is the one that was over at Eddie's Guitars, but the sold it recently.

That is a sweet ride!  I like that Modified Balance B, gives it some heftiness or something.  Nice Work!
