dash Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 g'day just wondering if anyone knows if redgum is any good for necks, or if it has tonal qualities for a body?? maybe some of the aussie guys may have used this timber before?? (ps i did a search several times on "redgum", and kept coming up with errors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGGR Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Quick google did find: " There's a peice of very dense hard Redgum (carbon-dated to around 3000 years old) set into the back of the body surrounding the string ferrule holes." http://users.vic.chariot.net.au/~julian/bunyatel.htm Not sure what to think of this?

stiggz Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 holy mother chucker!, i love that tele, i was gonna use cooktown iron wood for the body of my tele, but decided to stick to the plan and use mahogany. as for red gum... ive heard its a relatively good tone wood, same goes for ironbark(the worlds hardest and most dense hardwood) but yeah, its a pretty good, ask around some local luthiers may help u out, i knew 1 down there, cant remember his name but will see if i can find it. luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
