Aussie timber recommendations for semi-scratch solid body build

[blinddrew]

I've got an acoustic made of Bunya, not sure how it would translate into a solid body though.

I think you'll find they're two different guitars. Top is Camphor Laurel and the bottom is Queensland Maple.

Yes, I'm aware they're two different guitars. If you look at the QLD Maple tele, the metal block from the vibrato bridge is exposed through the back acting as a string-through.

Thanks Woltz.
I've found some of those in my searches but you've linked some more options for me check out. Cheers!

I could be wrong, but I rekon that is a string through ferrule plate, not the trem block.

Aha! I think you're right Bakersdozen. I should have looked closer, although I didn't know such a thing existed!

I may look into those one day. Thanks!

Schaller use these with their Hannes series bridges. They are good but you need to rout really accurately for them, or be very handy with fine chisels.

There are a few options about if you search for them

The one pictured in the Tele is from Grainger guitar parts in the uk. They also make a master template set for accurate routing. Have a couple of there bridges and they make some stunning guitars
