    Since when is Catalpa considered a tonewood? Catalpa is generic crapwood, very soft, weak, and brittle used for fencing & pallets... it warps when only slightly humid.
    I wouldn't trust Lincoln Logs made from Catalpa!

    Wow. Probably the most expensive pallet I've ever seen. And to think of how many of those I've burned over the years. :

    Our tourguide holds up the famous Taylor Pallet guitar. The entire body of the guitar was made out of wood from an oak shipping pallet, the result of a luthier's wild night out. The expert craftsmanship of the Taylor factory produced an instrument with great looks and pretty good sound. Notice the inlay on the neck of a forklift.

    IKEA Guitar



    >> TEXT <<
    Let me just clear one thing up, no, IKEA haven’t started selling guitars! However some clever guy realised that IKEA have plentiful supplies of cheap timber available packaged up as cheap tables! He bought one of their unfinished end tables for $15 which apparently can produce three guitar tops. The exact specs of the wood used for the body is multi-piece knotty Pine with a AAAA-private stock IKEA top. I have no idea what knotty Pine sounds like but Zachary Guitars seems to think it makes excellent tone wood, I’ve never heard of anyone else using it, but if I would like to hear from anyone who has had experience with using this wood.

    The neck uses a more traditional combination of Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard. The pickups used are DiMarzio Virtual P90s. A narrower string spacing at the bridge was used to accommodate these soapbar pickups.

    “They are powerful and have a lot of guts. Its some kind of a midrange tone which screams Texas blues and Billy Gibbons.“
    >> END <<

    The forklift inlay is what makes this pure genius. If the nail heads and whole pallet concept is not in your face enough, lets stick a super expensive forklift inlay on a guitar made of pallet wood.

    Rocket, thanks for the bit re: Catalpa wood. Never heard of it. After a bit of research discovered it functions a whole like soft pine. Tonewood NOT!!!

    Pine is seeing a big resurgance of use in Telecasters. I've never played one but that's all I see anymore.
