I was considering Limba, but quarter sawn Limba/Korina is kind of out of my budget. Wouldnt mind spending that cash if I got more than 3BF, but I doubt it. Before we get into the debateabout tone wood not mattering on electrics, it does I've heard the difference, plugged and unplugged. I do agree pickups matter slightly more, but just slightly.
I've looked around, but what would be my best options?
I have most of the lumber I need, just trying to get a warm body wood, but should I go warmer.
For the neck-thru blank I'm considering 3pc or 5pc maple/padouck or 3pc padouck/American black walnut/padouck or5pc of the same. To clarify the place I get padouck from selling for 8 USD aboard foot.
I plan on making stringers as well. Also I plan on putting some good pickups in this with a hum/hum setup. I'm considering:
Passives: SD Pegasus & Sentient set, SD Alpha & Mega, SD Blackwinter(No, I'm not a black metal fan, just supposed by clarity and articulation), Dimarzio Titans, Lace Nitro-Hemi, Lace Finger Burners, Lace Dragonauts, Lace Drop of Nitro set, Bareknuckle War Pig.
Actives: SD Blackouts, SD Livewire 2, SD Duality, EMG Retroactives,EMG x series 81, 60, Fishman Fluence modern, Fishman Fluence Killswith engage.
Remember those are pickups I'm considering. I don't own all those sets. Also I listed mostly to all sets I've listened to demos of or were updated versions of demos I've listened to that would sound good theoretically. Which is why I'm asking for input. If it's any consolation or makes it easier to make suggestions:
I plan on adding a 20db gain toggle from EMG whether I use passives or actives. If there is a way to set up the active tone used for Emg X series on passives let me know,m onsidering an audio relay, but that's fir a different build, would like to do extended testing first, but I can deal with passive circuitry.
I will build this at my own pace as I aquire hardware. I plan on using a stud mounted kahler although I've only ever tried Floyds, and it fits ore flushed. Now no debating the Floyd vs Kahler just a heads up.
I just really need a good wood to use in place of Limba/Korina. I plan on using a top board/cap to be
An excellent things out.
As far as music I plan on this being a hard rock V, but also good for other heavy genres.
I'm looking for presence, articulation, percussive attack, and the on board 20db gain just for fun.
Thanks and while that was long winded hope this gets me some help.
