Wood of piano to make guitar.

[Xypher]

Got this idea while chatting with my buddies. Using the wood off the grand piano to guitar body and neck. Mahogany i think. Heard that it will generally make a warm tone. What do u guys think?

Is Teak wood used in guitar building?

 

[guitarsan]

wood must have resonating properties to begin with.

WAD! you gonna saw off wood from a grand piano? did you realise the grand piano is a more complicated craft then a guitar? you must be out of your mind to do so... if i were you i'll repair that grand if its a spoilt 1.. damn you are trying to kill something that worth thousands of dollars to make something cheap... :x

 

[edder]

good idea! quick go cut up that grand piano! if its good enough for a grand piano... its good enough for any guitar!

 

[Beefy]

Leave some leftover wood for me should you do that!!

 

[Gr3y]

ok u guys are crazy... damn..

 

[Xypher]

lol its only an idea. i din say i am really gonna cut up a grand piano. Post your thoughts.

A guitar can sound like a piano! *Somehow* I say cut that sh*t up!

 

[tany]

i dont see any point! piano costs like 10-30times more than a guitar!

 

[Xypher]

I have no intention of cutting up a piano. Its just something i thought of.

 

[tany]

haha. we all know you dont!

but i think it will sound quite good actually. the grand piano can make the sound ring long and loud! so maybe it can make guitars sustain more?

 

[edder]

nevermind your intentions... just cut that damn grand piano will ya? :twisted:

 

[Indigo_blues]

yeah chop it up! haha..

the soundboard of the piano will most likely be high grade spruce.. use that for the guitar top..

use the rest of the wood (mahogany) for the back and sides..

u can also pluck out the ivory from the keys to make the saddle and the bridge..

:lol: :lol:

 

[Xypher]

haha that wud make sure no part of the piano is wasted.

 

[ilzaf]

hmmm. you guys already got guitars. i dont have a piano. so just give me the piano instead of cutting it up.

i think that would be the best option. :lol:

 

[Phanto]

wah grand piano cheap meh. thot its like 20k+

 

[jony]

sell the piano and get some nice guits.

 

[MackSonne]

Best statement ever made.
