I don't mean this in a sarcastic way, but if you've got them "layin around", why go with theory?

Try 'em, and see what sounds good.

Go with teh superdistortion. The higher output should compress the tone and cover up the crappy tone of the plywood

Its a Duncan Custom, wound by someone with an initial of L or J.

I have had a super distortion in a plywood guitar. I thought it sounded very nice. I couldnt belive that guitar could sound that good.

Kurt Cobain's sound on the 'Bleach' album, i think, is plywood guitars with Super Distortions...maybe just stock humbuckers tho...i dunno...

Use the JB and mail me the Super Distortion
