Ok guys I need idea's from the heavy riffing / Metal guys. I am contemplating building a guitar for such use but as this is not my thing I need to know what is desirable .
This is what I think
Body , solid light weight resonant possibly with maple cap. Or evan Metal over a wood block.
Thin profile carbon fibre reinforced neck , maple
fretboard , rosewood
Pup's EMG active's with boost cct or evan some sort of disassembled stomp box ala Matt from Muse.
trem , some sort of locking trem , Kahler??
scale length 26"
Tuning , 6 string drop D
what do you think ??
