I'm looking to get a guitar, more specifically a carvin st300. I'm trying to get a lead tone that is clear and smooth with distortion, but I don't want it to be too bright. What woods would be good for this?
I'm thinking that I should go with a mahogany body and neck with an ebony fretboard. I was also interested in Koa. I heard it described to have smooth highs, lots of mids, and a tight low end. That seems exactly like what I want, but I'm a little weary about Koa because it doesn't seem to popular. Has anybody had experience with Koa? If so what are your thoughts?
So basically just try to help me figure out what types if woods would get that tone I described.
