Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted February 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 24, 2010 Are you saying that this guitar body is made from wood from the Paulownia tree? How is that? That would be correct.How is that? The tree was sent to the mill and from there some of it's wood went to a guitar company and was made into a body. Is that what you mean?

Members alex9152 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Stop giving me ideas! I'm seriously considering giving up on the refinish and picking up a GFS finished body. But then I would be stuck with mint green. And to combat neck dive, I would have to buy a brass or steel block and the steel saddles to make the bridge really heavy. And then while I'm at it I might as well get another body, a pickguard, locking tuners, and misc crap so that I can use up my Squier neck and old DiMarzio Super Distortion humbucker. Then again, I would get more money selling the neck and pickup as is than if I was to build the extra guitar and sell that. Also, the Super Distortion is not F-spaced and it's a shame GFS doesn't sell a pickguard with an angled humbucker route. No, I said I would give the body one last chance before junking it. This would turn the refinish into a build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members unworthy Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 As light as they are, neither of mine are neck heavy. Mine's a little neck heavy, but I'd rather have neck-heavy than just plain heavy. I haven't weighed mine, but it couldn't weigh 6 lbs. Those pre-fin GFS bodies are a ridiculous value and it sure sounds great. My neck pocket required a bit of work to fit the neck; did yours just bolt up? Nice work, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents had a Paulownia tree when I was growing up and I remember it being weak and brittle. How is paulownia as a tone wood for guitars?

Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted February 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 My parents had a Paulownia tree when I was growing up and I remember it being weak and brittle. How is paulownia as a tone wood for guitars? I've never used the raw wood. But it's one of planets new renewable resources thats now being used for furniture and now musical instruments. I really like the tone of the Paulownia wood. Both guitars have really great natural sound to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
