Does anyone have a guitar with a purpleheart body? I know Metal Matt you do, if you have one done, what does the purpleheart project in tone? I know it's pretty hard, so is it really bright? Would it be too much with a quilted maple top and maple neck? My local stores have it cheap so I looked at it and it sounds like it wouldn't be a bad idea at all. And the guy told me it finishes well and ages good. Just need some opinions. Thanks for your time! Jason
Hi Jason, I own a 2016ish €pi Nighthawk Custom built of Purpleheart. Maple top, rosewood board. It's a fantastic guitar! It is BRIGHT! Very versatile, I use it mostly for Cleans with minimal effects. But it's ULTRA DYNAMIC, so makes a pretty great Jazz instrument. Its a special guitar, and I love it! I'm going to try to tack on a few pics, and I'd be happy to try to answer any questions u might have, the best I'm able to anyway. Hope that helps...
