Greetings,
I've been toying with a Mooncaster for a couple of years now for the idea of hollow body build. I also have a Gibson Midtown, which I understand is build kind of like a glued on neck Mooncaster. Really like the sound of the Midtown a lot, but I think the Burstbuckers pups are a large part of that sound.
But if I think of it objectively, assuming same woods and parts are used, is there a tonal difference in what a Mooncaster offers vs. a Warmoth hollow body, Strat, Tele or VIP? Once one gets past the body shape, is there a sonic difference in the various hollow bodies? Does the larger physical dimensions of the Mooncaster play a part in the sound?
