    Thanks for the responses! My main concern was regarding stability around expansion and contraction of the two different components. Coming from a general woodworking background, I basically understand the potential risk of grain direction in glue joints and would expect that it could potentially be worsened by varying characteristics of different wood species. I was curious if this should be avoided at all costs or if there was potential for success by using two different wood species. I appreciate being pointed to the reference material on this! Would love to hear about anyone’s experiences with using two different woods in the set-neck application. For my prototype, I am going to stick with Korina for both neck and body as a measure of insurance towards final success.
