I am planning to build a flat-top LP with DiMarzio super distortion pickup in the bridge and a DiMarzion super 2 in the neck. Originally I was thinking of using a mahagony neck and body, but now I'm wondering if that would sounds too dark or muddy. I thought about using Alder instead.
I have another all mahagony Warmoth and ended up putting lighter strings on it to brighten it up a bit. I was expecting that Gibson LP sound, but was a little disappointed.
Any advise or experience?
