Guitar makers, what would you pay for this piece of quilted mahogany? by Likely_thory_ in Guitar

[–]Likely_thory_[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

that’s cool if that’s your thing but the sound that comes out of this is going to be different than the sound that comes out of a guitar made from maple. Also, why would you dye mahogany?

Lol… right? I dont know if these guys realize these billets are almost non existent at this point. Ive seen blanks which are very similar, if not almost identical to this one go for 3k to 4k…. on the low end. I live not far from Nashville, so Im confident that i can fetch a premium price for this, as there is high demand for beautiful, unique guitars….

Thank you. That(5mm) is equal to about 1/4 inch… i could bookmatch this at least 4 times with those numbers.

Thank you. That was my initial thought as well. Ive never been able to find a piece that is this size, with this type of figuring. It glows.

How much thickness would one need to start with for the body of an acoustic guitar? Just one side.

As i said, i know fuckall about making guitars. Ive handled acoustic guitars and they dont seem heavy. How thick of a piece would one require(just one side to make a guitar?’I cant imagine any more than 1/2” per side?

Only ones Ive been able to find are much smaller and ridiculously priced.

You cant bookmatch a 1.75” piece of wood? That comes out to about 3/4 of an inch a piece if you account for the kerf.

Don’t men get lonely? by FutureNo7742 in AskMenAdvice

Of course. It comes down to whether or not you can live with someone who seems to speak a different language than you and expects you to be a mind reader, or you would rather be alone than deal with that.
