funkle Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I'm wondering how this wood sounds. I will be using either just the Shedua, or in combination with mahogany. It is used extensively in Warwick Basses. Rampart describes it as: "reflect a more round-range, not as bright as the hard rosewoods, but more lush" Sounds like the direction I'd like to go. I want a dark, warm mahogany sound. Padauk would be a possible alternative. Any opinions on how these woods sound would be great. -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Check out Taylor's Website. They use it, and list wood qualities if I remember. If not, check Ed Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Padauk is pretty bright - think maple. It's also very heavy. I like it, but it can be troublesome to work, and is a mild nasal irritant, so a dust mask is advisable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
