Chienmortbb Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 My old Peavey P bass copy is plywood and it is why I was eventually convinced that the wood of the body does not affect the tone much (hardly at all). The Peavey has a great necl and I was gong to build a new body but I might try this instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the tendency for it to be a bit heavy, structurally there is nothing wrong with plywood at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Fabulous stuff, just what i need as I'm planning to have a bash at this sort of thing myself on an old and massively beaten up short scale mahogany Overwater. @Andyjr1515 , is PVA definitely the thing to use or would Titebond 3 be ok? I only ask because I have some TB3 but no PVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 A new thread on me, I've never seen veneering done like that, almost a hybrid hide glue method remelting damp PVA and a very quick setting as it loses heat I imaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because I have some TB3 but no PVA. I think probably yes but have never tried it. Just try a small patch of veneer on an offcut of sanded wood - it's a pretty instant process so you will know straight away. Don't know if the waterproofing of titebond 3 makes a difference...

Holding the veneer bond for 10 secs or so of cooling is all it takes to fully grip. If you see my current Dreadnought Acoustic thread, I've just applied one of the pairs of binding in the same way and it worked a treat...and there are a lot of bend stresses with wood binding but it seems to hold as well as glued wet and fully clamped. The pva is dry before ironing so you can come back to it hours or days later and just heat to remelt. Seems to be fully repeatable too...

I'll give it a trial run. Tb3 is quite PVA-like in some ways -- water-solubility etc -- so hopefully it 'll work. I'll let you know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
