I have a walnut body (strat SSS) with bloodwood on wenge neck that I am putting together and just finishing putting on the finial coats of danish oil.
I have done some research on walnut and came across several sites that say walnut can muddy mid-tones, while http://www.jemsite.com/jem/wood.htm
says, "a heavy piece will dampen the mids to produce an overly nasal and lifeless sound". This is my problem, the body 4 and 1/2 pounds.
I really like DiMarzio's by the way. I have some ESP MH-103QM that I really like and I might put some in my Schecter Gryphon; I don't like the SH-6s
I put in they irritate me and set me on edge. I like the Cruiser and Fast Track 1 but I don't know how they will sound in walnut.
Does anybody have a recommendation to narrow my search down. I have been looking at the Fast Track 2, Fast Track 1, Cruiser Neck and Bridge,
Air Norton S, Pro Track, and Chopper. Also, thought about the Area pickups some, but I think they might be too bright for the type woods I have.
Thanks for the Info.
