"New" guitar day! woo!

[Will]

Plus this shortscale neck is mighty comfy, i now have one of each scale! 25.5, 24.7 and 24" all living in harmony. This also might be my heaviest guitar, i'll plant a shaving of it in my front grass and send you a leaf sample when i gets a mustang tree Wez.

I seem to remember only 25.5" being big enough for your Scot hands a year ago ;)

I think some Slowhands may sound good in there :roll:

I know! I love the big necks, but when i tried this it was so very good. I'm a convert :)

hey, i got mojo too!!!  tbh it looks a great guitar so i am glad you found what you needed


it could be mahogany. how smooth is it?  does it have lots of little pores?

[PhilKing]

In that shot it looks just like some old Honduras mahogany from my Junior, it doesn't look like oak or beech.  It is hard to say from a small section but Wez has probably wroked with more of the different types of wood than I have.

I'll check the pores again when i BKP it up, for now it's sitting there until i can afford a good set up on it, the nut is plastic and too wide on some strings and too tight on others.

It looks like mahogany to me too - the grain patterns and that pinkish colour.  But I can't claim any expertise.

[WezV]

i'm probably just seeing stuff thats not there... but i wouldnt ID it as mahogany just because of the colour.. i dont think its oak or beech either i just mentioned them as woods with lots of medullary flecking, which is what i think i can see when i look at that picture but dont mind being wrong.

if the dark bits are actually pores rather than flecks its most likely mahogany or some far eastern variant of it.
