commidaddy Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I have a body that a friend of mine cut out of oak and painted white. It is a neat looking body, very original, but I was curious as to what kind of sound I would get out of oak and about benefits/drawbacks to using oak. I guess I really want to know is it worth using to build a guitar? Quote
nothingbutbone Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I am wondering about that too. I have some Red Oak I would like to try using on my first guitar. Quote
Fraser Welsh Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Brian May's Red Special was partially Oak in construction if I remeber correctly...and that could produce a half decent sound on occasion... Quote
JohnJohn Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 I've made a couple of bodies out of oak,not bad.Not to high not to low,decent mids. Can be a bit of a pain to finish-very porous.Wasn't as heavy as I thought. Quote
