Hey,
I'm going to order my first custom guitar (Skervesen) in 2 weeks but there's something I still haven't decided yet: the body wood.
I want an ash body, but I'm not sure if I'd go for swamp ash or normal Ash.
I'm looking for a bright, punchy tone. (I play metalcore most of the times with bouncy riffs.)
Can someone explain me the difference in tone between Swamp Ash and normal Ash?
Thanks!
These are the specs of my custom:
- Model: Raptor 6 string (right-handed)
- Scale: 25,5
- Body: Swamp ash / ash ?
- Top: Flame maple (acrylic satin)
- Binding: Ivoroid (body + neck + headstock)
- Neck: 5-piece rosewood/ebony neck
- Bolt on neck
- Macassar ebony fretboard
- Stainless steel frets
- fluorescent side dots
- Ebony truss rod cover
- Bareknuckle Black Hawk pickups
- Hipshot bridge
- push/pull volume knob
- 3-way switch
- Hipshot locking tuners
- copper shielded cavity
