Daniel Sorbera Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) thanks a lot blues. You still think it looks like a godin? darn I wanted it to look like nothing out there(I was trying to be unique ) Which is prety hard these days considering thers like a million guitar styles out there. Trust me it is nothing like my godin (which I love by the way ) It is really big auccually(it is as big as my takamine small bodied acoustic) Edited December 15, 2004 by Godin SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) ok I got a update. Earlier today I made the template for routing out the innerds of the mahogany. Right now i'm off to my youth group so I wont do any more today. Hopefully I Can finish routing out the innerds (and not screw it up ) tomorow I will take more pics after I rout out the innerds(hopefully evreything goes well) Edited December 15, 2004 by Godin SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javacody Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Godin, that amount is in Canadian dollars, right? I got two poplar one piece body blocks for $20 US! LOL. I will probably be feeling your pain eventually though, because I want a one piece block of Black Limba to make a flying V, and also need a piece for the neck.

Daniel Sorbera Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) umm no i'm an american, and thats in USD. (is USD less or more than candian? so like if I bought wood in canada for $160 how much USD would I have spent? EDIT: ok I just calculated it and $160 canadian would would be $134 USD but than I really only spent $116 and $116 candaain would be $97 USD (Just in case this confused you more, I am a american and I paid american dollars for my wood) And ya javacody, poplar costs almost nothing. Genuine mahogany on the other hand A one peice of black limba will run you about $100 USD Edited December 16, 2004 by Godin SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Sorbera Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 (edited) never mind, I just got my site working. Ok heres the pics body neck (note. these pics are just after routing and havent been sanded, thats why they look crapy. I will fix all this later today once it warms up a bit. I dont feel like sanding in 40 degrees) Edited December 17, 2004 by Godin SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 ok I was just checking thicknesses and I'm thinking mabye a 1/4" of maple would be too flimsy to use as a top. IS this the case or should it be fine? (I'm not going to carve the top and I REALLY dont want to have to brace it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 ok I just cut out the fingerboard and it fits perfect. Also I sanded out the insides of the body to look nice. I can't do anything more until either the truss rod arrives(orded yesterday from stew mac) or I go and buy the maple top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I'm going to suggest to you in a( ) friendly ( ) way (before a MOD steps in) ...to edit your posts and stop posting so many individual posts unnnecessarily. If no one has posted after you, and you have something to add, add it in to your last post. There was a big issue about this a few months ago, maybe before you joined. More than 1/2 of the posts on this thread are all from you just adding in notes here and there where you could have just re-edited your last post to include the info. There's 3 pages on this thread where there really is only 1 page worth of info. Just re-edit your last post to include whetever else you have to add. Thanks.
