zeppelinchld Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 i was just given a small slab of purpel heart, about 1"x10"x12", so its to small to do anything major with. but i was wondering if theres any ideas on what to use it for. i just wanted to modify one of my existing guitars. could i use it for a nut and how would it sound? How about knobs, would that work? any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Scarf-jointed headstock, knobs, truss covers, nuts, pickup covers, electronic cavity covers, bridges, possible acoustic saddle material?

bear222 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I may be wrong but I don't think it would be hard enough to use as a nut! How about a nice contrasting inlay on the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Purpleheart is more than dense enough for nut material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
