Jon Pruett built my cigar box guitar found in several of my recent videos.

I have a new build in mind and need some advice before I start. I love my peaveys. I have a t-60 guitar

and a T-40 bass (as seen in the above videos). I want to pay homage to them in a tiny CBG sized solid body based on the shape of the the T-60 that I cut myself. I will then send it to Jon and he will basically work his similar magic. My question is where can I get a chunk of ash suited for this? Or is there another type I should use? Thanks!

Well since this appears to be a "hey dummy you're not supposed to use ash" comment. Then I'm forced to say hey guess what?! the Peavey T-60, my ideal guitar, is made from Ash.
You could actually say something helpful or at least not sarcastic.
I think he was serious. Lousiville Sluggers are made from white ash.
Well I'll feel stupid if he was! LOL! Well oily?
Thanks Wes. I'm not going to just a lumberyard though right. Sorry I'm just new to this. I was even considering picking up a free wreck of a piano and salvaging a piece. I have no idea what pianos are typically made from. I want aged wood right? Not pressure treated? My brother-in-law gave me a scrap of treated pine big enough to use. I am assuming that will not work. If I'm going to pour my heart and soul into a piece of wood I want it to hold up.
I will check for the upscale lumber in my area first. And thanks again!
ebay or bellforest products
Thanks!
Bellforest is my supplier of choice. Great service.
Thank you.
I went with woodworkers source. http://www.woodworkerssource.com/index.php
I got a 1 13/16" piece of ash just the size I needed for $25. It's is beautiful. I am pulling my band saw out from under the back of my house and bringing it to my dad's garage hopefully today.
