For my A Level project I built a complete guitar from blanks of wood, a further part of this project was also to research and test the tonal qualities of different woods used in guitar building. I used this research to specifically select the materials used for the guitar build for a unique sound.

 

The materials used were:

 

Flame Maple - The contoured top of the guitar body

African Mahogany - The body of the guitar

Mahogany - Used for the Guitar neck

Pao Ferro - Used for the fret board with mother of pearl inlay
