Ultimate Tonewoods Vs. Best Looking Wood

From what I can tell, the wood makes far less difference than the hardware. Pickups aren't microphonic, so the tone comes less from the wood than the electronics. That said, the wood affects string vibration and sustain. I prefer lighter woods because I can FEEL the guitar vibrate in my hands, inspiring me to play differently than with a heavy, dead piece of wood, no matter how beautiful. Basswood is my favorite and Alder is pretty nice too.

you guys forget that i used to be in love with wood grain as well.but now every cheap ass schecter and bc rich has a nice quilted maple or flame top...i am sick of looking at a great top on a mediocre guitar.

a good custom paint job is just as tough and more pleasing to me.you guys will tire of wood grain as well some day soon.go to guitar center..look at what they have laying around for $400 B)

I can agree...but I must say I love my Schecter Omen 6 (black paint, no flamed maple :D )......great guitar for the money :D
