johnsilver Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Just got a beautiful single piece of Black Limba from Fryovanni. I had no plans when I bought it. Got it because (1) it was beautiful and available, (2) I wanted it badly, (3) I could afford it right now, and (4) I didn't have to leave the house to get it. Too bad this doesn't work for women. Now that I have it. How about? Limba Paul Limba SG Limba Tele The piece is just under 2" thick, so thin for a Paul. Could add a plain maple top with a dark burst, say a tobacco burst with the Limba back. SG or Tele could be finished natural. Or, how about a bass? Thoughts?

Too bad this doesn't work for women. For some it does. And nice piece of Black Limba there.......that Tele cut out looks nice.

jnewman Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think that looks PERFECT for an SG . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I dunno. It's telling me to do a singlecut, or a doublecut but nothing pointy. But maybe that's because that's what all pieces of wood tell me ;-) It looks a bit 'wrong' for the Tele, somehow. Needs to be something curvier, less square in the bouts.

dayvo Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Go the SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I dont normaly like SG's, but i think it looks the best, as you said if you do a LP youl need to cap it to get enough thickness on the carve. I say go with the sg, it will look the best out of the 3 designs that you chose. Makes me want a limba guitar now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 RGGR, that's sick. Now I'll have nightmares. Mattia, how about a double cut PRS style with carved top finished natural? The limba blank is just about the right thickness - just needs a little planing. Maybe with P90s? It looks like the SG is an early favorite. A natural limba SG with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a 59 in the neck? How about a Firebird? Perhaps set up for slide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr3Va1L Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 go with a thinline telecaster... something really nice and unique. I dunno... maybe with a p90 in the neck or something! Else, you need to do a double cut with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno... maybe with a p90 in the neck or something ← Whoa! A Thinline Tele! Excellent. And I just recently made a pickguard for a Thinline Tele for another project. Have the template and everything. Cool. Thinline Style Pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaxination Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 hmm... frankly, i think black limba tele would look hot... kinda like this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolysmaster Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) I say go with the SG. It looks great in your cutout. Besides, my personal preference is always ANYTHING but a Tele; well, just about anything. Edited December 8, 2005 by Stolysmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
