Hi,
Can anyone tell me why oh why luthiers use basswood for their guitar bodies? I own two Ibanez guitars with bodies made from basswood, but I think this type of wood sounds quite awful, kind of squishy, if you know what I mean. Its the pick ups on my guitars that kind of make up for it.
The only basswood advantages that I can come up with are its weight and the sustain it provides.
Curious about your answers. Thanks.
