Guitars by Jake Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Anybody ever use mesquite for a neck? How about a 5 piece with ash stripes. I am sure there will be a weight issue, but with that aside, any opinions on stability, difficulty working,........ Quote
westhemann Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 I don't think mesquite is stable or even straight grained enough for a neck...for a top,yes...but a neck? I just don't think so...I have a pasture full of it and I would not even consider it.Mesquite is for bar b q Quote
Keegan Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 I'm not sure about a neck, but you could smoke up some tasty meat with it. If you're itching to use it, try it for a fretboard or top cap. Quote
Guitars by Jake Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Yeah, Ive used it before, but never for a neck......Ive been getting some wierd requests lately. Guess that comes with custom building. Oh well. Edited May 10, 2009 by Guitars by Jake Quote
