I'm wondering what woods to use for the neck/board on my first Warmoth. :toothy10:
Currently for the body, I'm thinking:
Alder back/Black Korina lam. top LPS flat top with tummy/forearm contours
H-x-H pickup setup, likely Seymour Duncan Jazz or a Benedetto or a Bartolini in the neck position, undecided for the bridge pickup.
The tone I'm aiming for is a fairly modern clean jazz sound, that is fairly bell-like/has added highs. The sound clip I've been using as an example is http://www.davidocchipinti.com/Samples9.html
So my question is:
What are your thoughts for the neck?
So far I've been considering:
---- Padouk neck with Ebony or Satine board
---- Maple neck with Ebony or Satine board
---- Wenge or Rosewood with Ebony or Satine board
One of the things I'm worried about is weight, as I would not like to have a neck heavy guitar... I'm considering Satine mainly because it apparently has added highs, which is what I'm looking for.
Thoughts?
