I don't know if this has been discussed before; I checked in the search bar and it doesn't seem so. Regardless...
About eight years ago or so my dad bought some Redwood intended for a project that never came into fruition. He wound up storing it in the back of the garage, where it remained until last week. He says it's not going to be used for anything now, so if I wanted to have my way with it, I could.
I've been a member for a while now, but I've never actually built my own guitar yet, for various reasons. I plan to use this wood because it's really the only good stuff in the garage--my other options are particleboard (might actually use it for an intentionally cheapo build) and centuries-old mahogany (pieces of a piano, and I don't think my dad will be too keen on me carving that up).
My question to you, the all-knowing, much more seasoned builders of this forum: What can I expect from a guitar body made entirely of California Redwood?
