Members ajcoholic Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bodies,_necks,_wood/Electric_guitar:_Bodies/Body_Blanks.html Thats near $100 US man, not including postage. I dont know what it is really (and I know a lot of woods, I stock over 50) but I would say for the price, I'd go with African mahogany. I buy 8/4 A Mahogany for about $6 a board foot. My cost on a body blank 1 3/4" thick, 14" by 18" is only about $25 C with some waste factored in. Arent there any smaller furniture shops in the UK where you are that you can bum some wood from?
