  1. I know for sure that this will end up decent at best, but it will be a good learning experience like you said. Im just going to go for it and see how things turn out, maybe do a "Things I Did Right vs. Things I Did Wrong" type chart and see how i can improve everything. I have the resources and the help from a professional wood worker to make this thing work...but I only have access to a shop twice a week and only for an hour and a half, so this is going to take a while (not saying its a bad thing, I just like to be able to work at any time). Thanks for the help everyone.
  2. This is because I have no idea what kind of wood it is. It is already in my possession, so i can take pictures if someone could identify it. I was only told by my woodshop teacher that it was oak, but he did not specify or give any detail. I am only using this wood because I have it, and if it ends up sounding like garbage its fine because I can salvage everything out of it and just build with a wood that I know can do what I'm looking for.
  3. Thank you guys very much for the quick reply. I noticed how hard it is to work with...which should have told me something about its strength I guess. Im thinking of throwing in seymour duncan Blackout 8 string active pickups to try to hide the tone of the wood. But I may swap in Bare Knuckle Pickups in the future. I plan on spreading this build out for a couple months, mainly because I dont have the money to pay for the hardware. And, I want to see this turn out good, not just all thrown together.
  4. I recently obtained quite a good amount of oak and I've already started doing an 8 string neck-through build out of it. From what i've read oak is a terrible tone wood...but this could have been lies. It seems like it would be a bright sounding wood because of its grain, but again I have no idea. ...and can anyone comment on the strength of oak?
