The greatest guitar in the world ; Ultimate neck throughs Rushmore

I stand corrected. 

[danmar007]

"Honduran Mahogany (genuine not african )" Mahogany is mahogany no matter where it comes from. Honduran may sound better than African but it is NOT more "genuine".

@danmar007 Wrong !!! Swetenia Macrophilia is Genuine Mahogany - African Mahogany is not Mahogany its not the species even elated to mahogany - they call it mahogany but it is NOT ! Genuine mahogany comes from central and south america thats why its called genuine mahogany - you obviously dont know what youre talking about - look it up before you start flapping your gums and wagging youre tounge .

Can we hear this guitar anywhere?

[JohnnyTsak316]

@cowie86 It's still not finished yet ?! I have so many other guitars too that need to be finished ?! I am way behind - no worries it's just about done honestly . I need to put the frets in and put a finish on it .

man, you could hear how hard that brazilian rosewood is just watching johnny move it around.

I don't see why almost nobody seems to make both the neck and body one piece from the start?

[JohnnyTsak316]

@Logicallyrare because that's the way they have made them historically and is wrong from the start . They have gone to luthier's school and that's the way they were trained to build them . Plus the jigs and machinery has been made to accomodate that style of construction at their factories . Their idiots . ignorance is bliss . they have made millions of dollars off of their antiquated design and they are arrogant . it's hard talking to a successful buisness about a better way to build guitars .

[Logicallyrare]

@JohnnyTsak316 Wow thanks for this insight because I actually have been coming up with my own guitar designs and I definitely what it to be one piece from the start. I think this will certainly provide the best sustain and design simplicity.

[brorbjoern]

@JohnnyTsak316 well... or maybe it's because differing neck and body woods would be difficult to attain with a one-piece... not to mention it would be a horrific waste of wood to make guitars in the fashion suggested...

[JohnnyTsak316]

@brorbjoern There is not a waste of wood ?! Why do people think that ? It's because they are not building guitars . The excess wood is used for neck thru's this is a stupid argument against building a 1 piece guitar ?! I have built several 1 piece guitars and they are the greatest constuction technique ever - hands down - tone and sustain , dynamics and harmonics .

[F3FisGoodforYou]

@Logicallyrare ...It's because, you want a specific orientation of the grain of the wood for the neck for stability and often you can't find big enough piece of wood to make a one piece guitar.

[PuYanHui]

Wheres the one piece ash stevie you started last month!!!! I'm DYING!!! I need to see it. Maybe it was limba I dunno.

Can you make sure you film it directly from the side so I can see the lines of the neck as it comes into the body?

Please post that vid!! :-)

When the wood has been cut out of a Slab - it has to sit for about 6 weeks to move where it wants to go . I leave them alone after I cut them out on the band saw especially if they are flat sawn pieces .Once the wood has settled into it's comfort after its cut out I then replane it and truss rod and reinforce it so it wont move down the road in the future . Thanks for asking .
