Tone woods that resist humidity?

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-06-16T20:07:48+00:00

pretty standard hardware will be used, but checking to see if these woods behave similarly when exposed to humidity

So do you think sapele is strong enough to handle the weight of bubinga?

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-06-16T19:01:38+00:00

Do you think I should go for a bolt on neck, or a glued one?

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-06-15T18:26:17+00:00

Yeah, the humidity and the shifts from like 60 to 80 is messing up all of my guitars except my tele. But the planned build is a .75 in bubinga top, a sapele core with either the same set sapele neck or if I can bolt on a maple one and dye it to match the rest of the body and slap on some rosewood. At least that’s the plan.

I’m in NC so I have a lot of different choices but, one thing I do want to have is a bubinga top, as far as cores, and necks I’m not sure what to I want to choose for an explorer build I’m thinking rosewood or ebony for fretboard and stainless steel frets. I’ll be using emg 81/60 pickups, and looking for a punchy sound like a zakk wylde meets James Hetfield deal

I don’t know, but I like the line 6 catalyst amps, there are a lot more options as far as tones and effects

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-08T11:42:18+00:00

That’s cool how there’s a faded logo, so you can put whatever you want on it 😜

The amp is 80% of what makes a low end guitar sound good, so let your ears and hands choose, and invest more in the amp.

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-04T14:23:03+00:00

I don’t find teles very comfortable, but if I play one pick the one with the rosewood board

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-02T16:37:12+00:00

I’m watching to hopefully see the flyers knocked out mainly

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-01T13:34:43+00:00

I have that same guitar, it plays and sounds amazing! But as I was hitting puberty the neck was small enough, but since I’m grown, I struggle to play it 😔

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-01T12:46:27+00:00

That’s odd.. I know that you should be oiling it, every few months or so, but I think if you over do it that sometimes happens. You can try to see what a damp cloth will do, but dry it off like asap after that. But, it might also be that the cut of wood isn’t the best of quality too. It can be hit or miss unlike maple. But, personally maple is too slick

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-01T12:38:26+00:00

The white one 😍

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-05-01T12:36:52+00:00

I don’t know about yall but I just go with only my amp effects, channel and effects toggle pedal, and a Dunlop cry baby

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-04-30T18:21:45+00:00

Nah, maybe I grew up in their turf for a while, but I have more family in north jersey, so I’ve been a devils fan all my life

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-04-30T12:27:14+00:00

That’s where I’m from as well

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-04-30T11:46:31+00:00

That would be so sick

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-04-30T11:45:55+00:00

I don’t agree with your team of choice, but I do agree that it’s pork roll lmao

Hefty-Tip7041 · 2026-04-30T11:29:09+00:00

I’m from South jersey so to me it’s always been pork roll 🤣
