You can use anything really. Walnut carves really nicely. Maybe avoid spalted maple or anything prone to tear out

No thicknesser - but I could always router plane and surface some rough sawn timber if I can source some. I've done this for my body blanks so far.
open to suggestions on where to source some rough sawn maple or rippled sycamore.
For some reason I think you're in the Leeds area Pete? A quick Google finds this place....

Can I register as second in line if Pete doesn't want them please? You could ship them the order I placed yesterday
I think you have my address already - but if not let me know and I will pm.
PS - going order a set of cans for the finishes on both junior this week to repay some of the help/tools you've given
cheers
Sorry @MattNovak and thank you too for the lacquer order.

I'd already got a Leeds based supplier sorting out a couple of metres of American hard maple for me - so I will see how I get on with that first. Pretty sure I will want some of the Plane for a future build though - it looks amazing.
Good luck with the job move btw.
Otherwise, go for something sufficiently attractive and different such that you will never need to replace it.
I would like to try some book matched sycamore once I can source some locally.
Tokai , yeah !!! I have a 2005 LS-150 and love it. Heavy on the shoulder though !
And here it is - its only plain, but I like the look of the '58 LPs anyways. Present idea is to make a semi-hollow LP like my Zematis-shaped one, with the body (probably mahogany) top routed ala the Gibson Midtown. That said, I've got projects piling up around me, and work has gone mental so I'm unlikely to share anything of interest soon!
picked up 2m of maple board 9x1” at the weekend from a local hardwood merchant. Really pleased with It.
