Cherry Wood Guitar Body

This was my last cherry guitar from a few years ago.

Cherry wood guitar body.

I think i want to get one of your neck through the body models this time. The various finishes wood types and guitar styles available to guitarists offer a wide range of sounds and music creation experiences. I like cherry a lot. Cherry wood is nice when you don t put a finish on it.

The neck sides and back were from a local tree that was damaged in a storm. It is plenty stable enough and seems to be stiffer than mahogany. Don t worry they are both 24 fret models. The second most common guitar neck wood after maple mahogany is most often coupled with a solid mahogany or mahogany maple topped body.

The type of wood used to construct a guitar has much to do with the tone. This more porous open wood doesn t quite have maple s hardness strength or stability however and it isn t suitable as a fretboard material. The center of balance for the guitar is the guitar body. I don t need anything fancy i just want it to sustain as well as this guitar.

I have built several cherry guitars starting in 1982. Cherry creme guitar cherry wood with creme binding. The wood on any one guitar could be different for the top soundboard of the body back and sides of the body the neck the fretboard bracing the bridge the headstock. Proper proportions are vital for headstock and neck weight.
