In order to choose the right pickups I need some wood help. I have searched this forum and the internet for true information about the tonal qualities of Indian Cedro as a guitar body wood.
The two opinions that I keep finding are these:
(1) Indian Cedro is similar to Alder but brighter.
(2) Indian Cedro is similar to mahogany
Can any of you wood experts tell me the real deal?
It would also be helpful to know which tonal areas Indian cedro is weak and strong.
For example, does it have good low frequencies or poor low frequencies?
Does it emphasize the mids or are the mids mostly lacking?
And is the high end really more than alder or not?
If you own a Jackson Guitar made of Indian Cedro your comments would be especially helpful as that is the body I have (and I am pairing it with a Jackson bolt on neck made of rock maple and a rosewood finger board). There is no trem, it is hardtail with string thru body. (My guess is that this guitar will be bright, but I would like to hear from the wood experts.
Thanks so much for your help,
Bubba
