Pictures Wanted !

I'm going to try to run this down. I bet someone took real walnut and made a dual pro body. It must wiegh a ton!

I think Jody Carver said here that some of the early Dual Pros were real Walnut. That would be the 1940s ones w/boxcar pickups. I had one years ago, and it was very heavy and had no legs. I don't know what kind of wood it was, but it could have been real Walnut because it was about as heavy as a piece of oak! I do remember that it had no legs. Some came from the factory like that. Heavy as h@ll and no legs! What were they thinking? Shocked

The ash one I showed pictures of is heavy enough to cut the blood flow off if you played it on your lap. It is a table steel because it came without legs. My other one is a later walnut stained ash one and is plenty heavy as well.

Here is a shot of mine I restored a couple of years ago,its bolted together,and the top pieces are glued on.

Kevin, that picture speaks volumes about the construction of these guitars. I noticed that the thick neck is sandwiched in 2 layers. On my 55 it is also but on my 47 it is 1 full thickness piece of ash.
That must have been some project to restore.
