I don't want to drag this thread OT so will be happy to open my question in another thread, but - I see two remarks here about cedar CBOM tops chewed up by pick marks. Is cedar really so much less resistant to pick wear than spruce? What if, like me, you're using soft nylon picks and aren't doing any strumming? Reason I ask is that I've been considering cedar for my next bouzouki's top.
Thanks for any input here, and by all means just PM me if you prefer.
