Thomann Texas Special Strat

Re: Thomann Texas Special Strat

Basswood is actually flatter in EQ than lader or ash. It's a very good wood if you plan on playing loud with OD as the highs will be rounder, the mids will be richer, and the bass will be a bit more present. These are, of course, generalizations. Do play a couple of MIJ strats though. You probably won't be disappointed.

You described exactly how I thought the basswood on my ibanez sounded.

Which IMO is a good thing for playing rock.

Yeah, basswood works in some applications, I have a gut feeling it'd make for a dull Strat though. There's always ash if you want a twangy strat! Oh and poplar, but I've never played a poplar axe of any description.
