Does that neck require a finish?

How is the tone of Imbuia Gregg?
Heard from a luthier here in Brazil that he played in a full Imbuia guitar and it was beautifull, but completely muddy... But don't know how much I can trust him, kind of "I'm the master" attitude (was a guitar from other luthier)

I heard it sounds like chicken.

No finish required, but you can put one on it. Like Canary in that respect.

???

EDIT: Didn't tried to be a jerk, just heard that stuff from a dick-head luthier and though it was a way that he used to speak bad things from a luthier that he would not be able do speak "He doesn't know how to build a guitar", like he use to do...
Would really like to know how it sounds

Same thing happened with the tele that I was watching, but it was in the showcase a bit longer b4 someone snatched it up...It was the body I used in my virtualultimate tele thread...

Doug, I am not a tele guy, but THAT is badass!

"Sounds like chicken" as in "tastes like chicken" as in I have no idea what it sounds like.  It sure "feels" good though!  :icon_thumright:

Thank you, now bow to my greatness..... :toothy12:

I'm not much of a tele fan either, but I like that one..I'm photochoppin' together another one right now. Gonna be a custom lam-top.Don't know if I'll do the 5 single coils or not, but it's gonna be kick ass either way....

 

[DangerousR6]

May do something along the lines of this.....It's the Metalli-caster.... :headbang1:
May use maple for fretboard or Ipe, either way will have  skull and crossbone inlays.....

That would rock with black pups and black binding...how about a macassar ebony fingerboard?  How'zabout EMGs?  Have 'em rout a battery box in the back.

I thawt about EMG's, but I've kinda taken a liken to the lace Sensor Hot Gold's. Would probably go with the black Hot Gold's if I did black hardware....No ebony, not a flavor of mine...Seen some Brazilian rosewood I like, but I'm still leaning towards birdseye maple...... :headbang:

You mean you wouldn't like this?

Nope, this one.....

 

[DangerousR6]

I like this Ipe board...

 

[DocNrock]

I can't argue with that.  Is that a type of rosewood?

Not sure what genus Ipe is, maybe a type of rosewood....... :dontknow:

Doug posted his Ipe too quickly.  I was referring to the one he posted above that.

By the way Doug, your tele has that "hair of the dog" thing goin' on!  :headbang:
