Hi everyone!
I'm a bit of a newbie and could use some input... I am hoping to make a semi-hollow bodied electric guitar (probably a mooncaster) that could serve both as a primary guitar for playing Jazz, while also being a passable backup for my main Rock guitar. I'm hoping I might be able to find the right combination of Tonewoods and pickups that could give me a nice, warm Jazz tone in one pickup position, and still provide a decent hi-gain, hard-rock rhythm sound in another pickup position (I know some guitarists like a Dave Grohl get a great heavy rock sound out of semi-hollow guitars).
Does anyone have any recommendations for wood combinations that might help me get this combination? I know this is under the "Body Woods" category, but I'd also love to hear recommendations for neck/fretboard wood and pickups if anyone has any good ideas!
Thanks so much in advance for your help, and please let me know if you need any clarification!
