Hi Folks,
i'm about to order a Raptor6 and i'm not quite sure on what wood and (bareknuckle)-pickups to choose.
i might need some advice.
first of all, i'm a rhytm-guitarist so no fancy soloing guitar needed.
my maingenres are melodic hardcore and metalcore mostly in drop c.
the guitar will be my onstage-and-overallworkhorse. so it should do cleans and distortion both quite good. if i need to decide i'd lean towards distortion than clean. weight should be also considered, the less the better but can be sacrificed for superior tone.
a quite important part for me is having really high gain pickups. they should scream even when not hit that hard because of a disability i'm not able to hold a pick and need to strum with my fingernail.
my current configuration ist: swamp ash, poplar burl top, macassar ebony fretboard and a wenge-bubinga 5ply neck. for pickups i'm going with bare knuckle blackhawks.
for a few song examples what i'm playing, please have a look on my bands youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLoy_GXmoxhBvtK2GDpR4SQ
Thanks for helping!
