Don't lick doorknobs and stay in school
I would like to have them and see how they affect my guitar building. Is there a PDF or a write up about it?
Factories closed bud! Hope they're open next year!!Or...you can break into Paul's office, crack the safe, and read the document yourself
But how??? I don't know how white limba and honduran rosewood would pair sonically. I may even splurge for a buckeye burl top. I honestly dont get how that will affect tonal qualities.Rule #1: Make it sound like you want it to sound.
Rule #2 - #21 See Rule #1

But how?
I was with you until the pineapple.1. Blue guitars sound better.
2. Louder sounds better, except when it doesn’t.
3. But it does.
4. Blue guitars don’t sound better.
5. There is no rule 5.
6. Make the bodies wood and the strings metal. Never the opposite.
7. Do not put pineapple on pizza.
8. There are a lot of fine women in the world, but not all of them bring you lasagna at work.
This. I was watching Paul's interview last night for the Guitar Summit 2020 over at https://webcamp.guitarsummit.de/ and he was emphasizing the importance of the wood and the ways of "cooking" it. Talking about the importance of this procedure in tone structure. It was a really interesting talk. I could've listened to him talk shop all night.Just remember it is as much the materials as the way in which the guitar is constructed.
I mean the limba isnt super heavy, not neck heavy at all from the weight, and is so dry! It's around a 0.6 for moisture so thats great. And I will keep you in mind if you want to be a future customer!!Paul didn't get it right on the first try, neither did Edison, Ford, Tesla, Leo Fender, Les Paul, nor any other inventor. It takes patience, perspiration and determination. It appears as though you already have the Inspiration. If you want to make the perfect guitar on the first try, you will be sorely disappointed. Look closely at what is on the market. look at what works and doesn't work. Listen to the different clean tones of different woods in the same style guitar. Do your home work. Don't get discouraged because one idea didn't work. You may have thousands of ideas that don't work or sorta work. You only need one idea that does work to find success. All those other ideas are called experience. It's how you learn.
And for what its worth, I'd buy a Guitar with a Limba neck and body, HRW board and a one piece Buckeye Burl Cap anyday.
Thats what sparked my question! I watched it and realized there are so many things. It all starts with the tuners.Watch Paul's TED talk, there's gotta be a couple o dem rules mentioned in there.
A week isn’t enough time to do a thoughtful, careful job or learn very much.PRSfanboy46,
I challenge you to make a guitar (or guitar like object) in the next week. Post a picture of your finished product by December 6, 2020. Tell us how you think it turned out and what you learned.
Rules of the challenge:
You can’t buy pre-made guitar specific parts (strings excluded).
Total budget cannot exceed $20.
You must do the work yourself.
Anyone else is welcome to join in.
