iskim86 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Got them! as the title says, I'm looking for a block of alder big enough to fill a pickup route... preferrably around 2" X 2" X 4". i've looked on ebay and other guitar building sites, and they don't seem to have it this small... i just need it to fill a route. oh yeah i'm also looking for a sheet of cheap veneer, doesn't need to be that expensive, I just want to use it to put it over my dinky body to further conceal the pickup route and the control routes. thanks!

Rick500 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 If you're going to veneer it anyway, you could just use a block of whatever kind of wood you have handy. (If I had any alder I'd send you a piece.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskim86 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 i'm using this tutorial to guide me through this: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/tht1.htm I don't want to use any other wood because i'm concerned about shrinkage/expansion due to climate etc... but i'm really **** about everything. is this not a concern? if not, I'll be up for anything really.

VesQ Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have some left over pieces of alder from body blank. I could give the blocks for you for free, but I really haven´t ever sent any package to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
