Hey,
I am a minimalist when it comes to finish. And, so I ask: What body wood do you recommend for a Thinline or T-style guitar that will get the minimal finish necessary? What does best with the least?
I would prefer not to use grain filler if I don't have to; I want the guitar to look and feel raw and unfinished. I simply want the finish to protect the wood from me, my sweat, the elements, the gig-life, and so on.
Also: this will be a two humbucker guitar, with no regard for traditional Tele tone. The T-style body is the most physically comfortable (and stylish), but I prefer Duane Allman or Derek Trucks for tone. Of course, I am always interested in unique woods, and anything unusual, as well.
What do you recommend? Advice is always appreciated!
thanks,
RLS
