  1. It's good to see that now everything is ok! Freijo is more bass or more treble? I'm thinking about putting Seymour Jazz model in neck and seymour JB in bridge, both are so treble, so I want a wood that sounds close to mahogany. So in the neck, it will be possible pau marfim or grumixava. I heard a loooootttt of instruments with pau marfim, but any with grumixava. If grumixava is more bassful thant pau marfim, it will be probably the choice
  2. What I found about density: Jatoba is 890kg/m³ mahogany is 630kg/m3. Jatoba will be really too heavy in the neck or only a little heavier than normal? I can find straight grained. What's the sound like? You used it with what wood? In the course we have some teacher in the classroom that can help we, no mather what's the speed. If we do it faster, we only have to pay less tuition. I'm happy that you understood me.
  3. Please don't think it my friend, I only want opnions about the sound of that woods. I know the woods that you said, I don't lke the sound of caixeta and the others are ok. I will not ignore these opnions, next week I will search exactly what you told me. Why did you think it? I'm so sad with it =/
  4. As I said before, it will be done in a luthier course, by me. Next week I will look for some woods, with follmann I can get really old and dried tonewoods, compared to the hardware it's really affordable.
  5. So probably it will Jatoba Neck, Mahogany or Peroba body, brazilian rosewood fretboard and brazilwood top. Have you ever see goncalo alves necks? It will be done in a luthier course, obsviouly you will see pics! edit: I'm very close to this store: http://www.follmann-tonewoods.com/script/home.html Please enter in the site, click in "Download our Price List" and check her woods and recommend what woods to go with.
  6. I can get "traditional" woods too, both are expnsive, so I wan't to know exactly I'm going. If anyone did it, no problems, I will be the first. What's difference in the sound between chambered and solid bodies? (without f holes)
  7. Those are not common woods for instruments, so I think it will not be easy to find someone who used. NECK: Amazonas Ironwood (Hymenaea Coubaril) (in portuguese: JATOBA) 2nd option Brazilian maple ( Micropholis Gardner.) (in portuguese Grumixava) Fingerboard: 1st option Brazilian Rosewood, 2nd Ebony Body: 1st Aspidosperma polyneuron (in portuguse: peroba-rosa) 2nd mahogany. I can buy brazilwood (also called pernambuco wood), what can I do with it? I'm searching more about Amazonas Ironwood, peroba, and brazilian maple the other are commom Sorry by my poor english, I'm from brazil.
