How do you feel about the weight of this guitar? Being solid maple, is it excessively heavy?

hmmm, "peacecouldlast4ever" and you made that comment, thank you for appologising, glenprior I was thinking about the possibilities of a "Bright Clean" guitar made out of maple, I looked around for a online resource and found your guitar, Was the wood fairly good to handle and do you recommend using Hard Maple to someone else?

Yes the wood was great to handle. It is a pure block of maple. I still have two more of the maple blocks left. My wife and daughter were thinking of making a guitar out of the block too. We used a band saw and a router and the wood was fine. Years ago I made a 31-meantone marimba out or East Indian Rosewood and although the tone was well worth the effort, the wood seemed to be denser and more subject to cracking than the maple we used for the guitar.

what did you write on the headstock?

The fret board came with the headstock and it has the name of Johnson on it and below it it says Est.1993. We got that beautiful fretboard on ebay and we attached it by bolts the the homemade guitar blank. Glen
