Brian Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Nice looking body but................ Isn't there always a but The pine family is known for having way to much sap in the wood itself so unless those are very old cured pieces wood II'm not sure it would be a good body to start out with.......It's also known for cupping or bending and waving over time...

KeithHowell Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I built a tele with a Pirana and mahogany body. Melvyn Hiscock says in his book Pirana is the same density as Alder. Pirana doesn't have the sap like other pine, it can be a bit knotty but it is very nice to work with. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
