guitarzan Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Build a playable instrument out of an ordinary construction-grade 2x4? That's a piece of baklava. I'm in. As a side note, I recently built a Konstantin Nikolsky -- the Russian pop star -- tribute guitar entirely out of wooden YARDSTICKS (using both pine and polar versions). It turned out pretty cool. His original home-built guitar was made entirely out of beech rulers, but I wanted to use something lighter (and better sounding). Quote Link to comment

komodo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 BTW guys, I make all of my prototypes out of 2x4's and they sound pretty excellent, pine is decent tonewood. That's with a regular neck though . . .a 2x4 neck would warp all over the place unless you glue up a bunch of laminates. Quote Link to comment

GuitarGuy Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 No it was oak veneerd spruce plywood. A couple oak strips down the neck but thats akin to using CF in a maple neck. Quote Link to comment
