frankie Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Okay, I'm over here because I'm an idiot and I need some help. I'm gonna make a 12 string set neck electric with 2 mini soap bar pickups, 1 tone and 1 vol knob, kill switch, and like a 3 way selector switch (not like gibson, but the one you slide horizontally). I'm looking for a hard/classic rock guitar. I am still trying to figure out what kind of wood to use. I want the paint to look kind of vintagy/cool. You know kinda like the richkenbacker sp? george harrison style. I'm gonna have the shape, kinda like a guitar pic.......have you ever seen those vox teardrop guitars?:?? thats kinda what i wanna do. First step is figuring out what kinda wood i wanna use, I want really cool wood not just like alder or maple..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 There are millions of possiblities, however, this should be in the solid body section, as for some woods, heres a small list: Cherry Mahogany Maple Ash Alder Poplar Beech (however i dont think anyone ever has used it) Thats just a small list, plus I am having a brain fart and cant think of anymore Good luck Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 What's not cool about Alder and Maple? Mahogany is an all around good choice for body wood. You might want to do a forum search...you'll probably get tons of hits there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 My first choise would be an Alder body with a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
