Hi Just wanted to know if anybody has used red grandis before. I've got some and was wondering if its any good for guitars. A bit of research tells me its eucalyptus, but then so Is red gum, and jarrah.... All of these getting mixed reviews. Just wanted some first hand experience. It looks simliar t...

His name is Chris Delia, he's based in Dorking. He always has good supply of stock. Fire him an email. He can cut to order.

Oh, and I have read that article. Most helpful. Thanks

Thanks guys. If anyone knows which issue (month) of Acoustic guitar mag it was in, I'll see if I can get it on back order. I don't want to sound like a snob, but tonewood really does make a detrimental difference to the "tone" of the guitar. Whilst, on an electric guitar, the fingerboard m...

Cool!
What sort of hardware has he made?
Have you got any pics up anywhere?

Its difficult to find much information about this wood.

I'd like to use some as fingerboard material, but I can't seem to find much information about it.
Some builders have used it as back and sides, but I'm thinking Electric guitar FBs

I guess you're right though, that I'll be hard pushed to find a British made Hannes style bridge from under £100. Still, I live in hope, I think there are some small makers out there so...

Thanks. I do know of Rodgers Tuners. Truly amazing tuners. But as you say, not really suitable for electric guitars and way over budget at about £350 a set. I'm looking for under the £100 mark. Not dissing the price tag, as they are superb quality, and if I had that kind of budget, then I'd be all o...

Hi. I've started on a project that many other fine builders have done with great success, and that is, using only materials from your homeland. I'm from the UK and have the following tonewoods Cherry Body Walnut Cap Sycamore neck and I'm flirting with the idea of bog oak fingerboards Both the Cherry...
