My new Thorn was completed today. This started as a concept build idea based on the classic British Racers....

That's too cool. Is that a mahogany neck with a maple fretboard?

It's Korina with a Maple board. In my experience, the lightly finished Maple boards darken with playing and age, so they will start looking more and more similar in tone (color) over time.

Looks good as is to me.
