You mean the cardboard like stuff with a bunch of holes drilled in it? Yeah it is.
Why do you want a top riddled with holes? Why not just get a sheet of solid masonite?
sarcasm much?
soapbox is saying,in his own way,to use what works and has worked and not try to build a guitar out of crap you can buy at wal mart,so to speak
pine is for houses....hardwood is for guitars (IMO)
but by all means use whatever cheap crap you have...just don't expect it to sound good or last a lifetime
It's sometimes hard to recognize sarcasm when it is typed.
Just curious, I thought hardwood and softwood didn't necessarily refer to hardness of the wood, but it referred to how or when it grew, or leaf type or something.
