....and their high prices on body blanks! I found a small local sawmill a few days ago. 1" thick by 10" wide by 8' long clear poplar......$2.80 per board! I asked the owner to cut some 2" thick stock next time and gimme a call. I know 1" is not optimal for building guitar bodies. But I am still gonna use it. This is a tele body I have been working on btw.....made from cypress. EDIT: Jim, pics are not working again....    |
