Members herrteufel Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 That is a lovely guitar. My next guitar will probably be walnut, at least a significant portion. As soon as my wife allows me to buy the rest of the stuff I need for my current project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Singin' Dave Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Here's my '74 Guild S-100c prior to recently acquiring and installing original Guild HB1 pickups I found on eBay. "c" stands for the carved oak leafs. Stunning instrument that smokes just about every SG I've ever played. I think this one is mahogany with a walnut type finish though....so ..errr....maybe I'm out of class here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ferdinandstrat Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 A. I dont have the money. B. Do you ship abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 worldwide! although shipping overseas kind of makes the lifetime free maintenance deal worthless, but i guess it will still stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ferdinandstrat Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 worldwide!although shipping overseas kind of makes the lifetime free maintenance deal worthless, but i guess it will still stand. For about how much a guitar like this will cost? I am thinking of getting money for a custom made guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 that guitar is 750 w/hardcase, custom guitars from me start at a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ferdinandstrat Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 that guitar is 750 w/hardcase, custom guitars from me start at a grand. By the current NIS mark, I guess it's probably better to order from here. Sorry, I still love your creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Trevisol Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 I walnut! Oh, and my dad and I got two four-inch-thick slices of WALNUT TREE. Like bark and all. About 5 feet around. They gonna be some walnut guitars up in here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ugameus Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 I wish Quarter wouldn't post pics of his lapsteels. I want one so bad and just when I come to terms with the fact that I won't have one ... shebam! Another pic pops up and my GAS reinvents itself.

They gonna be some walnut guitars up in here! You might want to cut those wheels into smaller pieces so that they dry faster and more evenly. The best way would be to slice them up like slices of a pie ("quartersawing") and then building up a bodies with the pieces. Actually it would have been better if they were long logs cut lengthwise instead of in disc slices like that...but it would still be great to see.

LoL ... here is a less fancy walnut Teardrop body I made for a guy. A good way to save a couple bucks if you like to do some of the work yourself. .

Actually it would have been better if they were long logs cut lengthwise instead of in disc slices like that...but it would still be great to see. Good info. They do look pretty dry already (not sure when the tree was cut down, wasn't there for the slicing), and they may not end up being suitable. There's a lot of pith and burling going on in them, and the grain pattern is pretty out there. I'd hate to break that up. Pie slices wouldn't make big enough pieces to build a guitar I'd think. But definitely cutting them up is a must...we can't even split the 4" slices into 2 unless they're much smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RifRandall Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Do you not find walnut to be a darker sounding wood? My only experience is with a friend's guitar we built together and I found it to be very bassy. A good jazzy/death metal kind of low end but sucked for noodling leads on. Do those home builts have walnuts necks as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spectrum13 Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Mine's not dark at all, allmost chimey. It chambered has a Rosewood neck and a hard tail. Very tonefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
