Mr. Preston Swift Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I came across some cherry that is big enough to be used in a neck and i was wondering if it would be a stable wood and be good in a neck. For the neck i will be using walnut with laminations of cherry. Will it work good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 tons of people on here have used cherry for necks. it is strong enough by itself, and is amazingly close to rock maple. it will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihocky2 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Glad to hear this. I just got my hands on a few cherry logs that I have to cut up to dry, but was planning on using them for a few guitars if I could and was hoping that I could use the one for necks. I won't get a lot of body sized pieces from the one log, but I can easily get a good 6 or 7 quarter sawn neck blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the telecaster kid Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah, I just "acquired" a nice cherry log from my local baseball field. It's not long enough for a neck, but I'm hoping I can get a carved top blank out of it. It looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
