    Nope. It will dry slower when it is cold, but won't be harmed. When it is dry, you will want to store the good stuff in a climate controlled room. As far as falling the trees, I strongly recommend getting someone who really knows what they are doing, or at least taking classes before attempting it yourself. Contact your local forestry bureau either way, they can help you. BTW, the ash that you have is much different from the swamp ash that Fenders are made of. Heavier, different appearance, and brighter sounding, but still very nice wood. ← Hmmm, what kind of ash do I have ... I found a few cool tid bit son how to dry this stuff (thanks to the links you guys added) and it seems like if I have the stuff I may as well try to do this.... cherry takes much longer to dry I believe but it is REALLLY nice looking wood.. so perhaps that's worth it too?

    Uhh I am certainly punk... and uhhhh, Steve Jones played a les paul custom..... Most other punks play either strats with a humbucker ot teles.... it's relly not a proper way to "be punk" buying a 1500 dollar guitar... buy a 400 dollar guitar . 500 dollars of spraypaint and 600 dollars of beer. that's punk.

    Wow great this seems doable.. I'm located in upstate NY. there are a few sawmills around local.. mau be I'll talk to them about cutting.. and again thanks. .. here's the next issue.. I live in snow country.. so I am guessing that I'll need this stuff stored at a t least a certain temp... I'll do some more reading at the links given to me

    That's actually realistic... I would like to have a stack or two of these things around just waiting to be used..... how does one stacke these what are "good natural conditions" to have this stuff dry in? I'm learning alot from here and the web it's great I love it.... TIMG

    I guess that I would either saw it lumberjack style or with a chainsaw (I'm kinda afraid of them but I know people that aren't) I am building a house that has tons of huge ash trees and a bunch of cherry trees as well... si I figured that I could use it....in a few years... I have made a guitar body from a blank before... but the wood was ready

    Interesting... a few more Questions... Supposed I had access to a kiln (through my old hirh school) how long would I have to beg my x art tracher to fire it up for? I have a forest of ash, maple and cherry..... Is cherry a good wood? I have stacks of that dried and un cracked.... You guys rock.... thanks..

    How does one go from tree to guitar? as far as the "wood curing" process goes? I have aforest of ash and a new found love for strats... as I remember wood always seems to crack when it "ages" after cutting.... How does one remedy this? thanks

    Just got my hands on a new Stew-Mac strat neck... is a Squire Affinity Stratocaster "full size and width?" If so that would be a cheap way to get a nice axe going... right?

    The guitar is a "stellar mercury 2" as seen at www.stellarguitars.com The quality is quite bad.. the binding is "blindingly white and the neck is unevenly shaped (along the back side) Well I guess that a few small measurements being off is what makes this guitar look "not good" it's as follows. 17 1/4 long 12 1/2 lower bout 7 1/8 waist (that's on) 9 1/4 upper bout (that's on too) so over all the "ball" part of the body is quite a bit smaller.. it REALY makes a dramatic Diff compared to a "real" guitar... Anyone else see one of these? I hope it is returnable.. or I'll go insane
  15. allstellar
    Anyone else with tny thoughts? on this?
  16. allstellar
    OK, I measured an epi les paul standard and the "ball" end of the body is larger... so the question stands.. Are both set's of plans and my copy wrong or are les paul customs of the 1958-60 vintage smaller ... ? thanks guys
  17. allstellar
    OK Just bought a les paul custom copy to do some experimenting on. and the body seems smaller than any paul or epi I've ever owned.. I downloaded some 58-60 les paul cad templates from the mmimf.com library and the dimensions are right on. Are customs smaller? Or am I crazy?? or is my copy a toilet.....
  18. allstellar
    Yeah I think that after some research the guitar is not a prime specimen.. (it's natural but has an "orance hue to it).. not my thing...
  19. allstellar
    Yeah I just never heard of soulmateguitars.com before I posted my Guit on ebay ;( oh well desiny is desting.. If it sells I'll be building a custom strat (I do already have a de'armond m-75 les paul type uit that plays and sound GREAT... )))
  20. allstellar
    hehe yes I never use them soI have always called them "twang bars" I know i'm pathetic :D
  21. allstellar
