Tegro Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hey, I'm making a guitar for my big school Resistant Materials project (coursework), and I'm wondering if oak is a good choice for the wood of the body? I am able to get hold of some 100 year old oak from old lock gates for free - so if oak is a good choice then I'll go with it thanks, Tegro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I liked it at first but than I did this At first I loved it, it cut nice and it was easy to work with but than I got to the point that I could string it up and it really sounded like a mudy fart and Ive heard that it eats away at metal and all that but I dont know about all that, I say try it and see what comes of it !!METAL MATT!!
