yep maple and padouk are hard to get along. purpleheart and padouk I tired that long ago and it sure sucks. but now purpleheart and lacewood is way cool.

See if you can find some Ambrosia Maple. I've put some next to Paduak and it looks great. The redish streaks in the maple really add to the paduak tone.

here is a guitar i made with paduak, walnut and flamed maple. i think it turned out to be a great combo and the paduak has a great natural feel to it when used as the fretboard. the tops of the control knobs are padauk also and were made after the neck was made so they are are still a fresher shade of red than the fretboard.

WOW!! Thanks for all of the help. I will use maple. I have some nice 8/4 quilted maple that I can use for the legs. Thanks for the pictures. They really show off the contrast of the paduck and maple.
