    Should pickups emphasize or compensate my wood?

    Hi SevenString, Suppose I have a mahogany body (mid-range and low), amboyna top (for mid-range), and maple neck. It seems that my wood is more focused on mid-range. So when I choose my pickups, should I choose those that have prominent treble to compensate my wood, or choose those that have...

    Ibanez Replacement Bodies

    Hey all, I'm looking to find someone that's willing to cut/route/magic up a replacement body for me. I'm not looking for anything too crazy, but it looks like Area 51 isn't doing custom orders anymore and I'm not having a lot of luck finding an alternative. Anyone have any ideas?

    Oak Burl

    A friend of mine has offered me some burled oak with the catch being we need to cut it down. My question for you's guys is, would it be a viable option as a top for a guitar? If I'm not mistaken oak has a tendency to split when dried. Anyone have any experience or knowledge on the subject?

    Greetings, my fellow wood porn addicts! I'm on the lovely island of Hawaii right now so I figured I should find a nice piece of koa to bring back with me.
