Just Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) Im new to this guitar making thing therfore im simply making a new body for my squier p-bass. I did a "rough draft" in pine and was pleased with the results so im gonna try it on hard wood. Oak semms to have a good weight and is fairly cheep compared to other woods but what kind of sounds will it produce??

orgmorg Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) Hi, welcome to the forum. You say oak seems to have "good weight". I guess you like a heavy guitar. If so, oak will get you there for sure. I imagine it would have a fairly bright tone, as well. Edited May 5, 2005 by orgmorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you chambered it a bit I'd say sure try it. But otherwise I hope you have a good chiropractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
