Red Grandis....?

Post by Simon Bailey »

Hi
Just wanted to know if anybody has used red grandis before.
I've got some and was wondering if its any good for guitars.
A bit of research tells me its eucalyptus, but then so Is red gum, and jarrah.... All of these getting mixed reviews.
Just wanted some first hand experience.

It looks simliar to cedar to me and is really light, so I'm quite tempted by it.

You could try looking up structural qualities of that wood, often found at agricultural university web sites etc. You might have to identify the scientific name though.
