    Hi, I think Gotohs are FAIRLY inexpensive, as tuners go... Mightymite also are cheap, but they are generally not regarded as particularly good... I definately think Gotoh would be the way to go- they are relatively inexpensive (compared to Kluson, etc) and they wont let you down Cheers, luke

    Hi Knut Tore, thanks for the welcome! I had actually planned on using sloid mahogany for the wings, a bit thicker, as you have said. Do you recommend filling the wings with stuffing or material (cloth or sytrofome)of some kind? there will be no f holes, so it wouldnt be at all visible, but I have heard that this can stop feedback. do you reckon its worth it? thanks again for the welcome- it is much appreciated. Sincerely, Luke

    Hello everyone, My name is Luke, and this is my first post at this forum. I hope everyone is well. I am wishing to make a 335 type guitar myself (with the solid maple piece down the center, with the hollow 'wings' at the side). I am planning to make it a Les Paul shape, without any f holes. I had originally planned to make the top and back (and sides) of the guitar from mahogany(with the maple piece down the center), so the guitar would use the same wood as a Les Paul. (This way, I thought, by having a lot of mahogany involved, it may also retain a touch of SG tonality). Does using these woods in this way sound like a good idea? Thank you very much, Sincerly, Luke
