Prostheta Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Looking good! My first build was a LP Jr. first thing I looked for was the second neck pickup, as mine resulted in a less than perfectly stable neck joint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiewarlock Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I love how Guatambú looks like maple. I recently joined an argentine guitar builder´s forum and they use it a lot. According to them it doesn´t sound like maple and it is a lot softer, but they use it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le.meneghini Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Guatambu really looks aesthetically with Maple, but their sound is very different. another update, working on the binding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 That wood is too cool. Especially at the tail end where it sweeps off on both sides. Why bind something so awesome? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le.meneghini Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I chose to put bind to match the look of the rest of the hardware. the Louro-Canela is very beautiful aesthetically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattia Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Like the wood and body work, not so hot on the headstock. It's too wild, too 'swoopy' and doesn't quite gel with the completely classic stylings of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
