Solid body advice

Posted by neanderpaul on February 13, 2012 at 12:45pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Jon Pruett built my cigar box guitar found in several of my recent videos.

I have a new build in mind and need some advice before I start. I love my peaveys. I have a t-60 guitar

and a T-40 bass (as seen in the above videos). I want to pay homage to them in a tiny CBG sized solid body based on the shape of the the T-60 that I cut myself. I will then send it to Jon and he will basically work his similar magic. My question is where can I get a chunk of ash suited for this? Or is there another type I should use? Thanks!

I went with woodworkers source. http://www.woodworkerssource.com/index.php

I got a 1 13/16" piece of ash just the size I needed for $25. It's is beautiful. I am pulling my band saw out from under the back of my house and bringing it to my dad's garage hopefully today.

Well since this appears to be a "hey dummy you're not supposed to use ash" comment. Then I'm forced to say hey guess what?! the Peavey T-60, my ideal guitar, is made from Ash.

You could actually say something helpful or at least not sarcastic.

  I think he was serious. Lousiville Sluggers are made from white ash.
