  1. http://www.australiantonewoods.com/ Give Tim a call or an email and he will be able to track some down for you. ****in oath thanks RGman
  2. 302 Windsor. Very nice. The way he made it out to use was that he was rather eager to get ride of the timber. The only condition was that we buy the timber in the slabs as they were. (as he dose not have a saw for cutting it.) Maybe you should ring up David Haze yourself and tell him that you are willing to throw the money around and he might sell some stuff to you. There is heaps of great Brazilian mahogany down there. Mr. K is the one of the most talented guitar players I have ever seen. I try not to bring it up because he gets a big head at times. He is helping me with the build when he is not on classes, he has brought in some templates and fret board scales. I am packing my camera for the next few days to get some happy snaps for you guys. Anyone know where I can get some she-oak for match boxing the face side of my guitar project?
  3. I got the number for that old timber place and it turned out that my old man went to school with him (this unfortunately did not get me any discount). I got his number and arranged to meet him down there and got walk through all of that amazing timber He told me that a lot of the highly featured timbers had been rummaged through by guitar builders and that I would have trouble finding some timbers. We found a 10 feet long 17 inch wide, 50mm deep Brazilian mahogany board that we (4 students and teacher) bought together for $365. That teacher you are talking about is the same teacher that I am talking about and I also got good marks in his class. He said that he sold a guitar last week for $2500 to some dude in some band from some place. This teacher is giving me lots of help in this project and gets VERY excited about it. I think his name is “kundasivic” but most students know him as “Mr. k” and he calls his guitars “mukundi guitars” If I get the chance I will get some pictures of his guitars if anyone is interested?
  4. Well, the idea of this project is to build a guitar for my HSC (Higher School Certificate) practical assessment. So buying it is not really logical in this case. I am only using that custom warrior V for its body shape and head stock shape. I am not suggesting that I will come close to the quality of the KxK guitar; I will give it my best though. Do you have a link of a picture of that guitar? I would like to check it out. I am defiantly going to go with the neck through design, “fo-show” I love all of Rob Kaufman guitars they are made of pure god and win.
  5. Well I figured that living in the town of timber I would have had access to a range of quality timbers. (Seems to be a wide range of local hardwoods and limited instrument grade timbers) I have contacted a timber supplier and walked through his warehouse and have select a solid piece of Brazilian mahogany 50mm thick, 17inch wide and 10 feet in length, I will be buying this slab with a few of my class mates for $365. I asked the supplier if he stocked any quarter sawn silky oak, he had one piece that was not quiet figured enough. A substitute teacher has told me that he has some 4mm veneer of some flamed maple that I had been searching for; he is reluctant to sell as in my area this timber is becoming very rare to source. If I am able to get this timber from him I just want to give it a few coats of finish to bring up the flame of the grain and get a golden yellow look to it. I have found some great jarrah that I will be using for the fret board and thanks a lot for the link. I will be taking some pics and get them up here of the timber that I have sourced when I get back to school after I journey to Sydney to see Arch Enemy, Trivium, and Machine Head live Thank you for your reply’s and advice.
  6. Just what I wanted to know as I eat dinner while browsing the forum. I will admit it's an acquired taste.
  7. Also I plan on documenting all of the build and taking many pictures of the processes involved in the construction of this job.
  8. Hello. I am a student who has started his higher school certificate in NSW Australia who has an interest in death metal and a newer interest: Guitar building. I have decided to build a some what unique guitar and possibly guitar case to go with this some what different guitar. I have begun to research guitar building and I have decided to attempt to build a warrior V shaped guitar as used by Karl Sanders of successful death metal band Nile. I have added some pictures to give anyone who has not seen this guitar an idea of what I mean. Some pictures in this link that give you an idea of what i am talking about. I would like to do this guitar with a quilted maple top with a finish that will bring out the gold color of the maple top. For the neck I have found in the school store room some red jarrah and coach wood (I am not sure what the correct name for the coach wood is) I am hoping to do a three piece laminate on the neck with these timbers unless someone would suggest this to be a poor choice of timber? For the body I have some old maple that may be planning to use? Would anyone have a good suggestion for the neck joining method for a n00b? I am happy to see that a forum like this exists and I am looking forward to hearing any suggestions and comments.
