USMCHueston0311 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 What kind of tone is he looking for ? Would help in the final decision on woods if there was a type of sound he wanted. Koz if hes lookin for bright & snappy you can forget it with this combination. Ask him what he wants tone wise, You know the usual examples - Strat, Tele, Les paul, Jem bla bla bla. It would help build a better guitar overall, as opposed to just visually. Personally, Id definitly go with the Black Korina & maple body. Especially if there is lots of that funky orange streaking in the Korina. Cant realy go wrong there. But the neck & board need looking into further. He specifiically requested a indian rosewood neck, but left the fingerboard choice up to me. I was thinking either ebony, or ziricote, but i could handle a rosewood fingerboard.

Woodenspoke Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I knew some one who did an ebony neck and found the thing was too stiff, he had issues adjusting the truss rod. Besides price, its one thing to consider.. I am not so excited by the wood choices especially with a black finish. But if your friend can afford the expense of letting you practice with such expensive wood combinations go for it...Its nice to have rich trusting friends... Thats a rosewood neck, and a black limba body not a black finish. Sorry I am combining two of your posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
