VanKirk Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I see no link to what you're talking about. Is this your way of keeping us from seeing it? You tease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Headen Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I already had that on my watch list, actually. I'm probably not gonna bid, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank falbo Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Well, at 11 1/8" wide it's too slim for any regular body shape, and at 27" long, it s too short to flip match. But it is perfectly sized for some killer neck blanks. (Shh, Frank, you idiot! Shut up and let the interest waiver and it can be YOURS!!) Wait, I've said too much. As for Canada being for sale, well the European Unio....Oh crap I've said too much again. EVERYBODY LOVES EVERYBODY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the guitar I'm building now is 12 1/2" wide and I cut it from a block of mahogany that was only 11 1/4". You just have to make it a two piece body.

frank falbo Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Um, it's only 27" long. Unless I'm missing something, where are you going to get the other piece of wood? It's too short to cut and flip. You need roughly 18" for the bass side of a strat style guitar. That leaves less than 9" for the treble side. Perhaps there's a way to squeze out a LP double cutaway, or a tele, but I don't see how without some crazy cutting. Especially if you wanted a center join. I guess you could use the whole 11" and put scraps on the outer edge of the treble side. I suppose if you put the joint right at the lowest point of the treble cutaway you might have enough to make a jagged rip on a bandsaw that left just enough wood for a cutaway on the remaining piece. But every way I do the math, I can't see it working for a full sized traditional shaped guitar. You could use it for an offset design with a little tiny treble horn and a long bass horn. You could also possibly cut it into two "L" shaped pieces, with the protruding part of each piece being the lower bouts. The width of the two cutaways is about 11". Oh well, someone is bound to bid it higher than what I get locally, so maybe I'll never know. Edited January 23, 2005 by frank falbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 as a neck through it would be perfect.just cut it down the center and put a through neck in the middle of it. basically a neck in the middle of it adds 2 1/4" minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CudBucket Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hey guys. I just got it for $22.50. Here's the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWN:IT What you do is draw the body halves (down the center lines) with the each halve's center line on the long eges of the block. In otherwords, the curves of the treble and bass sides are towards the center of the block while the center lines are toward the outside of the block. With 27" in length, there is MORE than enough room to offset the curves so they almost fit like a puzzle when drawn. I've done this before and it works fine. It's in the book by Dennis Waring and David Raymond called "Create Your Own Electric Guitar And Bass". Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moreau Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 good job cud. for 4 dollars more i got the 36" piece. i thought that was the one i posted.... or maybe i used my magic or misdirection.. not too sure wat i was thinkin. but yeah. good job, we will have (hopefully) nice axes , and they will be from the same wood. i think its cool cuz i never know what the other wood from that log is used for etc. so itll be good to see someone using the same stuff as me. i dunno if im making sense. just woke up. the joys of a day off...
