Title: Specifications for wood provided by customers?
Post by: emjay on May 25, 2006, 09:58:11 AM

Please look at my post in the Miscellaneous section.  I think I put this question in the wrong forum.  I was asking about Alembic's wood specifications required for body, neck, etc.
 
Hoping to hear from someone soon, as it appears I'm starting a wood collection already!  
 
Regards to all,

Title: Specifications for wood provided by customers?

We usually accept customer-supplied wood for tops and backs, since they have little structural bearing. Generally, we prefer lumber, in 4/4 or thicker with a 8 width and 24 length for most models. We have to wait to use wood that has too high a moisture reading.  
 
For necks, we prefer to use our own woods.
