Hello all. A friend and I are about to embark upon the mystical journey of building baritone Tele Customs using mostly Warmoth parts.
To begin with, I wanted to talk to some experienced project builders here and ask for your recommendations on body woods. We're looking to construct a guitar for "heavy" forms of music (think Isis/Neurosis/Jesu), and therefore I'm looking for a body wood that will best suit this style. Mahogany has served me well on my Les Paul Custom. but Warmoth presents other interesting options, like walnut, rosewood and padouk.
So, regale me with suggestions and advice! I plan to ask a lot of questions as we construct these guitars piece-by-piece.
