Any thoughts on using hickory for back/sides?
Drawbacks:
Fairly heavy (though probably no worse than rosewood)
Coarse grain, not likely to be "beautiul"
Some tendency to splinter
Advantages:
Strong
Hard
???
How about hickory for back/sides?

Don't believe everything you know.
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
