Have you tried one of the Fender's with Dynasonics? The Fender Telesonic would at least validate your concept before you commit to the project. A decent youtube demo with bad naration. Kind of a dark twang.



I also saw this interesting oddball on ebay!

If you want to stay solid try a Korina body.

Korina...is a colour...not wood.

It's a wood.

WRONG! a myth put about by Ed Roman

Korina is a French word for an african wood and it is the name used by craftsmen of French origin in the US, however the wood is also called Limba which is the Dutch name and that name was used by Dutch craftsmen in the US, which is why in modern international English both names are correct. But Korina is a wood which is why you can buy PRS, Framus and Warwick instruments made from Korina in many colours.

White Limba is the wood that is often called "Korina", but it is actually the finish.

Limba can be finished in many colors, as several woods can be finished in Korina.

Close, but no Dynasonic / DeArmond pickups.
