It seems that "Okoume" is popping up in newer guitars all of a sudden. From what I've researched it's considered a lighter-weight alternative to mahogany. There doesn't seem to be much solid information on it. What does Okoume sound like? Is it resonant? What is your experience with it? Cheers

I'm building an HSH Strat with a maple neck and mahogany body. Wilkinson bridge. I'm going for very clear tone that breaks up well with Plexi amps, like a PAF in a Les Paul. I play mostly hard rock, but want something versatile and organic ("airy") sounding. 1) What pickups would suit this...
