so I'm building an electric violin. It's the first one I've ever built, so I'm bound to screw up a lot of things. Because of that I'm just going to use cheap wood from home depot.
Other than tone, is there any reason that using construction wood (pine) is a bad idea? All I care about is that it holds the strings in place. I don't want it to turn into a horseshoe or anything. Is the wood just too green and soft and end up warping like crazy? Or should it hold just fine?
Any one have any experience or have any insight to why it should or should not work? Again, I don't care about tone, I just want to be able to practice at night when the kids are sleeping.
