JohnnyG Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 i have just found out 2 fairlly cool things 1 is that a friend of mine who has picked up the guitar a few months ago is interested in building a guitar. (he has a 2nd hand Gibson, one of the studio versions and its seriouslly beaten up but sounds amazing) whats quite cool about it is he told me a few years ago at his house they chopped down an old walnut tree and that the boards may be big enough for making a guitar body out of. they've been sitting for 3 years so they should be dry now (someone who knows more than me correct me if im wrong) so im tempted to see if i can get a couple of boards of him in return for giving him a hand making his guitar. im fairlly sure that someone said walnutwas a good wood to use tho im gonna have a search throughthe forum in a moment to check second cool thing is that i had a look at the warmoth website yesterday and they do baritone 7 string necks so i reckon that the next project i do might be a big 'un lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyG Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 since im only gonna have the hard tail it wont be that expensive. warmoth has a 7 string hard tail for 40USD which is a steal for me given current exchange rates lol. incidentlly, while im posting here. can anybody give me a link to a picture of a walnut guitar with a tung oil finish?
