The concrete truck is backing in as we speak. That new 58 reissue is laying in the driveway...
Make sure you fill up those amp cabinets as well, plenty of air in there

StockHippy, is that you? :hee
There is something to be said for adding mass to alter the tone/feel of an instrument as seen in that fathead pic.
Using that exotic wood is fine for the primary build wood, but once to glue it to something else, you aren't getting that benefit. Any noticeable change is likely due to mass alone.

I can't help but think that this is a responce to the hysteria like mania I have noticed regarding weight relief or chambered guitars lately. An unrealistic fear blown waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion.
The 2001 Classic has the slim taper neck with the 495 and 500t pickups. The pickups alone are hotter than most historics, so I don't see how adding wood can make a better sound. That piece in the three way switch hole is barely touching the guitar. How is that absorbing body vibrations? Seems like it's just taking up space.
BTW, how is the truss rod adjusted with that piece up there covering it?
They aren't even installed well. I'm sorry but haphazardly glueing on chunks of scrap wood no matter how exotic, ain't doing a thing to improve tone. Might as well toss in some fishing sinkers.
I've listened to Johan's video and I don't hear all the added frequency content.
This is just nuts, somehow appropriate considering.
And to think, i just poured cement into all the holes in my guitar! I just i just took the lazy man's way.
You should have made the effort to have used Exotic Cement.
I reckon Norlin was in cement & beer , was it brazilian cement?
I think this is a great idea. I wish I had read it before I filled up my ES-165 with Fix-A-Flat
