That is one of the most beautiful guitar I've seen in a long, long time.
Congrats ! Quote:

I came across some southern pine a while back, thought it would be an interesting wood to build with as it is harder than the pine I used to make some guitars. Given the history of the wood I would give it a try at least for the back and sides. Depending on my mood I might even use it for the top.
I am not too up on the weight of the stuff but doubt it is heavier than the walnut I made a guitar top from. It was also flat sawn and it is over a year old with no problems so far. I seem to recall that hardwoods are not as extreme in the stiffness as softwoods are, may be why I got away without using quartered wood. My first guitar, one of the pine guitars (cedar top) I made had far from quartered back pieces and it also has faired well with no problems and is two years old. Goes to prove you can make a guitar out of almost anything. I think it is surviving as my workshop was low in humidity when I was building it.

SYP Guitar
The guitar that Mike shared pictures of is the one of three he built for me and my family. This guitar is not heavy in fact its substantially lighter than the Bocote/cedar guitar Mike built for my daughter. Not only is it a stellar looking instrument, its tone, and sustain are incredible.
Mike is one talented, and creative luthier. Hope to be visiting you in about a month Mike. Marc

I know your thoughts are on an acoustic, but wonder if you can get a nice solid-body electric out of that wood.

David Newton guitar
I don't think David will mind me sharing this from his Facebook page, since it is for sale. Top, back and sides are all white pine. I'm not affiliated in any way - I haven't met the guy or played his guitars - but they look good and are quite reasonably priced for hand-build, hide-glue guitars.
  Check out his other guitars for sale here: http://davidnewtonguitars.squarespace.com/

On a lark, I built an entire guitar, top, back, sides & neck from a single Long-leaf Yellow Pine siding board that I found in a trash pile. It was an unused board that had been in the rafters of a local garage probably 40 years.
Probably cut locally, LLYP along with Cypress was the tree local to my town, Beaumont, Tx that our lumber industry relied on from the 1800's until it was logged out during WWII. The guitar was not beautiful, but looked striking, one of those "River Guitars" that I like to do, just plain and simple. The tone was not sophisticated either, but it was one of the loudest guitars that I ever built, it could literally hurt your ears. I sold it locally, before I wanted to, to a repair customer, he played a couple of strums and bought it. I have built 3 guitars of White Pine, top, back, & sides. I like the tone they give. I enjoy building with non-traditional wood, not all the time, but when I want to "cleanse my palate" from traditional woods.
