WOOD WORKING BOOKS
Posted on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
I’m making a guitar this summer and would like suggestions of reasonable costing wood types to use?
Me and a few friends are making guitars in the free time we have over the 8 weeks that we work at a boyscout camp using a book that my dad used when he made one a few years ago(with all our tools and stuff)… I’m going to be picking up supplies in the next few days and would like some input for what type of wood I should get.
You are looking for what luthiers call tonewoods. So here is a brief rundown:
If acoustic: spruce, maple or cedar top, mahogany or maple sides and back.
If solid body electric: basswood, alder, mahogany, ash
Good luck, it is quite an undertaking (but fun if you have patience)
