Here's a recently finished Guitar Bodied Octave with a 21.5" scale.
Top - Adirondack Spruce.
Back, sides, neck - Queensland Maple (Flindersia brayleyana)
Headstock, tailpiece, pickguard - Inland Rosewood, an extremely dense Queensland acacia (A. rhodoxylon) often with attractive ring patterning, used mostly for farm fence posts.
Fretboard and bindings - Queen Ebony (Xanthostemon melanoxylon)
Rubner tuners with ebony buttonns, EVO frets.
Not the greatest shots, but they give the idea. Particularly hard to capture the lights in the Maple.
Strung up for a week or so now and sounding good. I'll try to post a sound sample when I get the chance.
