camcool Posted July 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Is the Zebrawood strong enough to make a neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truerussian558 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 zebrawood is a dense wood so it should work, though finding that much of it is expensive, but its actually harder then maple, as for tone i qoute from guitar tone woods " It has a smooth peak in the lower treble and does not roll-off the top octave. While it has an emphasis in the upper-bass, it has less upper bass/lower midrange energy than teak, and less top octave than Yellowheart.

Dr. Jabsco Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 How much money do you plan on spending in this little ordeal? Maybe before suggesting the most expensive woods you can think of, you should buy a book and learn a little about guitar building. Its good that your intrested, and I dont want to turn you away from guitar building, but you REALLY should do some reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
