So, if you had a beautiful set of dread sized Adi spruce sitting on your bench, that was as close to perfect as you could get both sonically and cosmetically, and could pick any B&S set you wanted to pair with it what would you choose???

Lottery is up to 70 million right now so I'm just dreamin'

Olive! I love the look on a dread, and I hear it's quite hard as well, so should make a good pair with Adi. Call up Aussie Tonewoods and see if they have any more like their pictures here.

Or if you can track down some Zoot Man mun ebony, that would be quite stunning.

Yep, that would be good too. Adi/BRW dread is just about as classic a combo as you can get. African blackwood, cocobolo, curly bubinga... so many great choices :)

Cocobolo burl. Actually had the chance to get a billet of the stuff but didn't have 300 to spend on master grade wood I'd still just be torturing myself with lol.
