I've posted a thread like this on Birds and Moons for a little while, and I figured you folks might be interested in this as well.
Jim is building me a Swan with the following specs:
- 7 String
- Trem (!)

Here's the piece of Bubinga used for the top (Jim's also building 3 more 6-strings using this same piece of wood). It's called Rope and Pomelle Bubinga (pretty wild):
