Hi, thanks for reading. I recently completed a Warmoth build:
Alder Soloist body with a satin clear finish.
Birdseye maple neck with an Indian Rosewood fretboard.
Floyd Rose bridge.
Bill Lawrence XL500 in the bridge, Duncan Hotrail in the neck.
My problem with the guitar is that it sounds, really.. trebley and thin. In comparison my other guitar is a Peavey Wolfgang Special and I absolutely love its tone, it's got a rich, deep sound. You can tell even when it's unplugged that it's going to sound good plugged in. I didn't expect they would sound alike of course but they're radically different. I'm not sure what the body of the Wolfgang was made from, ash or basswood.
So I guess my question is, how can I fatten up my projects tone? Do I 'need' a different body? Maybe a Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge? I hear that model is closest to what's in the Wolfgangs. Any help is appreciated.
