Hi all,
I hope you can help me make up my mind!
I have got a Warmoth Strat with swamp ash body and QS maple neck with Kingwood FB. This is a very bright and snappy sounding guitar, which is cool for clean sounds but lacks punch and crunch with OD. I want this guitar to be more middy sounding, singing opposed to snapping as it is now. In my experience the neck is the major tone shaper in a guitar, so I like to change the neck to a darker sounding wood. I just can't decide if I better go with mahogany or goncalo (which is cool cuz you can leave it raw. I had the maple neck just oiled and waxed and love the feel). I want to go with an ebony FB, though.
As here are some pretty experienced guys on this board I thought I just asked some good advice.
What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks in advance,
Timo
