Here’s a question from Tyler Davis, WI .

QUESTION:

1. I’m gathering information about building my own guitar and was wondering if you could give some insight on what the different types of woods sound like for an electric guitar body…

ANSWER: Great question! The wood tones from an electric guitar can really vary, because wood really does sound, and resonate differently from each other. It also varies from the shape and thickness of the cut. The best thing to do is research several different wood types and see what type is closest to the guitar tone you are going for. Then start with that wood.

EXAMPLE: If you want a real bright sound with lots of punch and sustain, you might lean more toward maple wood. If you want a real dark sound with lots of bass and growl, you might lean toward mahogany.

So you can see that the wood is the most important place to start.

Here’s a video to give you further insight…

Hope that sheds new light on the subject…Please leave me a comment to let me know how this helps you. Be assured, others will learn from your questions and comments as well.

More soon…
