Hello Everyone

[John H]

Hello, I'm new to the forum.

Not long ago a friend came by with a HiFlyer that he'd just acquired. When I couldn't talk him out of it, I decided to make something similar for myself.

It's got a one piece walnut neck, and mahogany body with a curly maple cap. Here's where I'm at now.

Welcome to the forum, John !!

That's way better than a Hi-Flyer!

I've always loved the look of black walnut. Let us know how it works for the neck as far as stability, etc.

Thanks! I'm not inventing anything here. Many guitar's have been built from walnut. Remember "The Paul"? Those were walnut.

Wow nice looking ax.

Thanks, I hope to make some progress this weekend if I get some of this other gear out of the way.

Use Teak oil on that thang! Or, something like that. I dont actually know if Teak would work but, make it pop!
