Members Crisco Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Value line anyone? It would be a hard pressed job but much like whipping together tuna salad just throwsome glue and chips in the mixer and see what happens of course they would have to be sanded and painted... couldn't imagine what a natural finish would look like.

Members SpaceProg Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Solid paintjobs, and more than likely would be heavier than 'normal'. Other than that, I can't predict how one would sound, as I've never played a Danelectro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iancandler Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Reminds me of the old gibson sonex guitars with their Resonwood construction, much closer to wood chip than the Dano's that where more hardboard and pine construction. Either way with the amount of glue required to hold that lot together it would weigh a ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that neckjoint wasn't very good at all- a slight Angus Young trip against my wall showed that very quickly.What I saw inside was much like what a Zero candy bar looks like. White carbonite material encasing less than an inch of wood holding the truss rod.It surely didn't give it any strength.Awful thing was there was no way to fix it. It broke straight in half like a carbon pencil...there was no angle to it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 Are those new flaxwood guitars made of something like this? Composite embedded with wood chips or something? Anyway, I heard they sound really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceProg Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I think Ibanez Talman electrics were constructed of some other similar composite stuff too. Though I don't know what exactly. They were neat-looking guitars at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quarter Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've often thought some OSB board could make for an interesting top either natural or dyed. . . Another cool product is this stuff they call Dakota Burl. Its a composite of sunflower seed shells and used for counter tops and other decorative applications. http://www.amicusgreen.com/browse.cfm/dakota-burl-1-2-x-4-x-8/4,1844.html .

Members jrockbridge Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I wonder if Gibson will sell their special 'tone glue' used in the Zoot Suit SG. Tone is in the glue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members starfire_Xes Posted January 11, 2011 Members Share Posted January 11, 2011 According to Ed Norman, the glue would really cut down on the resonance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
