Avenger Ghost's guitar build thread.

[Avenger Ghost]

So this is where I'm going to post my stutus and updates/pics of my build. Right now I'm just trying to figure out what kind of wood to use and what shape to go for.


I'm thining to use sapele mahogany: http://www.tkcustomguitars.com/suppl...ahogany-blank/


What do you guys think? This tkcustoms has a few nice body blanks other then the sapele also.

I think you should go to a wood mill cause that wood will cost you 1/3 the price

Would if I could find one near me that even carried the saplele

Go with regular mahogany. You're just gonna stain or cover it anyway right?

I found a wood mill like 5 miles outside of town I never knew about.
They had bubinga, maple, zebrawood, mahogany, oak, pine and more!

Most likely just tung oil or clear gloss it if I get saplele.

And I cant for the life of me find any lumber mills in Florida...

I highly doubt that, I got an easy way.
Call your local hardware store- home central, lowes, home depot. Whatever.
Ask if they keep any hard woods in stock- mahogany, maple, ebony and such.

When they say no, ask if they know any place that does.

That's how i found the wood mill I didn't even know about, a guy at a home central recommended us to go there
