Post subject: | What Woods Did Hauser Use "Inside the Box"? |
As I mentioned in my previous thread, I've never built a Classical but find myself lately really wanting to! Hate to be a cliché, but I love the sound of a lot of the Hauser examples I've heard. Even a few guitars that are based on the Hauser (usually the '37 "model) sound quite good. I have an ok idea of the wood selection up until a point.... For instance, I don't know what is the typical wood to use for braces on a "Hauser build". Was it Spruce? If so, what kind? Same goes for the other stuff in the box.... linings, blocks, etc.... I recall some other old makers using basswood for at least one of those mentioned. Can somebody tell me the "standard" woods used on this type of Classical? A little bit silly, I know. But I'm crazy for small trivial matters! ![]() Thanks, John |

As I recall from my own '37 Hauser project a number of years ago: -Neck/foot/-Mahogany (Honduras I think) -Top bracing/endblock and top tentellones-European spruce -back braces, center back reinforcement and solid back linings-mahogany Your best source of info is to buy the GAL plan drawn by Richard Brune'. |
