b5111987 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 iv made a guitar body from maple as it was the only wood i had at the time and its realy damn heavy so im gonna make a new body so would a basswood back and quilt maple front be any lighter or maybe just basswood than the just maple.
skibum5545 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Well, basswood is generally lighter than maple Pretty much anything you use (excepting hard ash and other exotics) is gonna be lighter than maple. Also, consider chambering the guitar and adding a drop top and back to reduce weight.
Daniel Sorbera Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Also consider asking this in one of the other four threds you've started about the same thing...
