Western Cedar - Thuja plicata (Cupressaceae), its another family! But I think that is more closer to the traditional coniferous used on acoustic soundboards.
-
Let's discover if our Cedar are the same. Here I used two species of cedar (even knowing that they're not from same family): - Cedro Rosa (pink cedar) that have a characteristic smell wich is Cedrela fissilis (Meliaceae). - Cedro Arana don't have the same smell of Pink wich is Cedrelinga Catanaeformis (Fabaceae) Wich is that you guys are using?

Here they are. The two first pics are Eucalyptus, the third it's Cinamomo.

Well After almost an year working just on repairing and setup guitars and basses, I decided to build something new. This project have a lag of a year, some stuffs of my day life/job/study makes me put it a side, but now it started and I'll share this with you guys! Will be four seven strings guitars, with multiscale (25 to 27 inch) Willkinson hardware, Cabrera pickups (two guitars), Jescar stainless frets. The woods are Cedar (2 bodies), Tauari (2 bodies), Marfim (4 necks and 2 fretboards), Imbuia (2 fretboards) , Eucaliptus Root (2 tops), Cinamomo Roots (1 top). I'll send the species later. That's all for a while! Pics of day one, rough cut and glue.

Tks Natural! They sounds goog, with mids and midhis pronounced and killer harmonics when pluged in. At least the first one with ken armstrong pickups. I'm making the eletronics of the another ones. But its almost shure that sounds like the firstone. I made one for me years ago and sounds equal.

Hi all! Miss you guys so much, but time in last days as rare! Here is a project that I'm finishing for a brazilian skate brand as part of the sponsorship of a local rock festival that will perform at Nov 25. It's 4 skateboard guitars made from "reclycled" old skateboard decks and guitars that became trash. I worked hard to find 4 guitars that have well intonated neck to use and recycle necks and hardwares. The bodies are all from maple plywood skate decks the rest is recyled from other guitars. Here some pics

Tks pankara, some ideas was collected over the internet from other brands, I just made a mix of then, that think be nice on the project. I decide to not use the wood bridge, basicly because the volume knob position. If it will be used, a stainless steel plate will be used too.

Here some updates, going to the end!

Tks folks!! Like I said before, with my master of science running, time is short. In fact I usualy use fridays to work on my builds only. My production is smaller than some years ago. Now I'm more rigorous with the final result of my work. Trying to choose special projects to do. It's creating a culture that I'm a specialist in vintage or restorarion instruments here. Even more and more old and broken instruments arrive at shop to make a setup or restoration. So the builds keeps at second place sometimes. If you take a look at instagram will see some 50, 60 and 70's instruments.
