That wood is realy tough and doest warpThe body's wood is Red Meranti aged about 40 years

  • God Damn! That thing is insane!!
  • I LIKE THIS.
  • Nice design bro, its gonna be a stunner!
  • Thank's guy's!!! I have some issue's with the wiring but it should be done in about a week (maybe 2)

    The Red Meranti is more of a construction wood than a tonewood i believe. Its tough as nail's though, very heavy and very tightgrained so it should sound nice and have a lot of sustain. Colour should be Redbrown-ish when finished with clear laquer.
  • yep..this is very cool...inspiring.
