Hi all.
I'm considering joining the Warmoth family
. I have all the brand name guitars that I'm interested in owning, so now I'm on the hunt for something more custom. Something that embodies "my sound" as I chase it ;D.
I'm looking into building a thinline but I'm a bit torn about materials. I want to get a airy, lighter tone to warm up my current telecaster sound (90's Tex-Mex severely modified: http://www.anxaw.net/gear/1999-fender-telecaster) but bring the rawk when I need it (thx deafeddie). I realize that there are *many* additional factors to include, but for now let's just talk body woods. Also, I have never really played around with a thinline at all. Maybe I should do that first.
I was thinking about a black korina body with a flame/quilt top, a maple neck, and a rosewood fretboard. Does anyone have hollow body guitars with similar specs? What kind of tones do you get from this kind of setup? I'd love to get some clips of a guitar with this similar profile, or recommendations on other tone woods to think about both on the neck and body front.
I will say that I don't like the tones I'm hearing from the thinlines I have found on youtube--so I don't think I want to build one to the basic fender specs.
