    Hey Bundy,

    Ash would be a good choice of timber.
    You can usually buy body blanks from Guitar Australia or Realtone...

    Or you could hit up your local timber merchant (not the big green shed full of s*it) and see what they have in stock.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hi Bundy welcome to the forum.
    Are you talking about a scratch build body or a kit ?

    I presume you are from Queensland with a username like Bundy ?

    Hi Bundy, are you in the Perth area ? Myself and DB get our supplies from Derek from the Timberbloke are a good supplier.

    I think everyone who has drank Bundy has had a bad experience Bundy !

    no worries Bundy, worth checking out the Timberbloke is in Naval Base, have to make an appointment with Derek.

    Myself and DB haven't been there for a few months but he always has some good timber
