<p>In the case of looking for acoustic sound, lets look at the basics, a hollow sound body emulates sound treu vibrations from a string and the ridgednes of the hole (Neck & Body) a metal rezonator in a wooden box emulates more sound because of outward projection stiffnes & smoothess of the material ( metalic cone), so in case of the neck & frets stifnes is a qualety (Hardwood / Metal) but metal on metal produses sounds that maybee are not on the wischlist !

Dobro Rezzonaters are usaly made of metal & hard wood, but the qualety of the reflecting cone construction gives it more volume, so to conclude densety ,stiffness (ridgednes) and large projecting cone are a must for high grade acoustics whitout electrification, But still you can allways use a amp; on batteries (20watts) take you a long way are small & i use them many a time in campfire settings in my time as a teatcher in creatif summer camps, the exspiriment is allways the best trile & error to test what satisfieds your ears !! good luck on the surch for acoustic volume! kind greeetss A.D.</p> Neck and body have a lot to d…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2019-01-16:2592684:Comment:32733412019-01-16T18:24:30.652ZPaul Craighttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/PaulCraig
<p>Neck and body have a lot to do with the tone for acoustic and electric. Some think that the pickups are all that matters in a electric guitar, but pickups will magnify the vibrations that pass through the body and neck through microphonics. Microphonics are inherent to the design of the pickup coil, so no matter how much wax potting or epoxy sealing is used on the pickup coil, microphonics will still persist to some degree.</p>

<p>There have been several guitars made by members here using copper pipe and cast iron pipe for the entire guitar(neck and body). I made one out of PVC pipe. Every part of the guitar has a part in the overall sound of the guitar.</p>
<p>Have fun and continue to build out of whatever comes to mind. ;) Your flask reso sounded great.</p>
