Making a chambered body....

[shredaholic]

On Warmoth's site they say that their hollow bodies have a smoother high end response, more bass and are at least 25% lighter. Is it just me, or is that the difference between hard ash and swamp ash? So if you chambered a hard ash body, theoretically, wouldn't it sound closer to swamp ash and be lighter but with retain some of the desirable elements of hard ash?

From the Anderson Guitars website:

Swamp Ash Top on Hollow Ash Back
This Swamp Ash combination has very similar sound characteristics to that of the solid Swamp Ash body. The differences include greater harmonic content with softer-but still pronounced-sparkling highs, rich low lows and a slightly softer pick (midrange) attack.


It does have a Swamp Ash top, but I think that you probably got it right...
