Ibanez use Basswood on most of the RG series, I'm not sure about the tonal differences to other woods, if there are any. I'm sure someone will have a site that tells the tonal differences of woods.
I think that differnt types of wood would only affect the sustain, because pickups(on an electric guitar) are essentialy elctro-magnets which pick up the vibrating strings. Microhonic pickups however do pick up how the wood changes the sound.
Unplugged, electric guitars will sound different even if they are the same wood, the same as an acoustic.
Uhhh... please tell me if that makes sense BTW
umm, i though les pauls had tune-o-matics any way!?
Yeah but most Les Pauls dont have Through necks and no neck angles. I read on Warmoth that you need a neck angle for Tune-O-Matics so thats why I'm asking here.
Is it possible to build a through Les Paul with no neck angle and a tune-o-matic, and is that reccomended if it's possible. If I cant have the tune-o-matic I'll probably have a floyd rose. I just wanna know my options with my choice of neck construction.
Thanks,
Pretty cool. But I have to ask one question, what is acetone and from what sort of shop could I get it from?
BTW, I'm from the UK, does any one know if its called anything different here?
Uhh.. I'm not sure lol maybe just like a copy of the strat I already have, but whats the point of that?
And anyone got any suggestions for the pickups I don't know much about 7-string
pcikups.
.. for my first guitar. Any templates, measurements, tips, tricks, money, parts, wood and flames will be appreciated.
Any links to people who've built seven strings.
Thanks.
