Re: Best GuitarWoods Body,Neck&Fingerboard

I'm a big fan of basswood (body), maple (neck), rosewood (fretboard).

(I figured 9 months was long enough for this thread to go without a reply :))

I haven't played through that many to give you a good answer, sorry.

How did you post as a guest?

JB From Hell, can you tell me more about basswood, and how I can tell whether it is basswood from its weight, wood, etc.?

You can probably figure out my answer if you read my sig. ;)
 
Re: Best GuitarWoods Body,Neck&Fingerboard

Alder + Maple neck. Mahogany w/ Maple cap + Mahogany neck. Both, any fretboard. Those are the best. Tried and true.

To own both a Fender or similar, AND a Gibson or similar, will complete your spectrum of \m/

Not a fan of Basswood; however, many guitars and guitarists sound great with Basswood. I just prefer the cleans of Alder more even though Basswood seems to cut better in high gain lead.

Anything will do as long as it's fossilized

Why did you bump this 11 year old thread? As much of a hoot as it was to see rainmaker and big black again I dont see what the point was....

Oh, my bad! That was totally unintentional. I was on my mobile, totally bored at work, and this thread was in the first few pages. Or so I thought... (The Twilight Zone theme song begins to play)... Maybe my finger slipped and I clicked on page like 139 or something without knowing. I have no clue really.

Again, I apologize.
