piranha pine


Recommended Posts

Nice looking body but................

Isn't there always a but :D

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...

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.
