bluesy Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I just picked up a nice piece of wood for a neck. I found a local timber shop that sells Tasmanian Oak. Seems it is a nice alternative to maple for a neck. This guy likes it anyway... http://www.sheridanguitars.com.au/ The good thing is that it is less than $7 for a 900mm length of 19mmx93mm. Neck blanks of maple and mahogany can be $30 and up from luthier suppliers around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
