** EDITED **
I'm updating this post to give a better description of what I want and hopefully get more responses.
I play mostly metal when I practice alone and with my band, but I'm taking lessons from a local guru in all other genres. Jazz, Blues, Reggae etc.
I will be strapping on a pair of SD Blackouts (mounted directly on the wood).
Walnut was my first choice for a top, but when I settled for a Pau Ferro fretboard I felt that the contrast between the two woods might not look that good. Walnut being greyish compared to the pau ferro. Now, I don't know how a walnut top would look like with a clear finish. I believe its darker and has more color than an unfinished walnut top? Could work.
So what I need now is to decide what kind of wood I should get for the body. Since I do play about every genre there is, I want a guitar that will sound good clean. Suggestionsare greatly appreciated.
Here's a list of my current thoughts.
Body woods
Zebrawood
Koa
Walnut
Padouk
Black Korina
I really dont know how any of these woods will look like with oil/clear finish. What do you guys think will look good? Any help would be just great =)
