Get a solid mahogany body, loads of sustain, heavy but you'll get used to it.

I can't believe how immature some of you fucks are. It's just incomprehensible.

Out of 4 goddamn fucking replies to this thread, ONLY ONE has been serious. The other 3 have been about cocks and morning wood. How fucking old are some of you dick lickers? Did you just get your first pubic hair last night??

One more stupid reply and i'm closing this thread. I don't want to do it because it's a good question, but you little cunts are too fucking annoying and i'm not putting up with this shit anymore.

Shut up kid. If you want to talk about dicks and tits, do it in Chit Chat. That's why it's there. Every other forum should be about it's topic alone.

I know alder and basswood and mahogany are widely used. I do not know much about them soundwise, except that mahogany is supposed to give a pretty "fat" tone. I'm currently building a guitar in birch, but it's pretty far from finnished, so I can't tell you what it sounds like...

Do you even know what a moderator is for?? TO MODERATE A FORUM!

That means, in Guitar Zone, i will delete all non-guitar related matter. That includes your teenage dick jokes.

I've asked you nicely before, please stop this shit, it's pointless because you know i'm right....your crap doesn't belong in this forum. Try going down about 8 forums to Chit Chat if you wanna fuck around.

Last fucking chance....i've given far too many and been way too kind to you people.

Read that if you still don't understand. It was posted over a year ago, and it's held up pretty well up until now.

i'm not sure what the body is on my '94 jackson, i'm thinking
it's maple, with the WORST sustain of maybe like 3 secs on
high notes.

edit that---it's a basswood body, maple neck.

I've got the same problem with my samick.....high notes probably get a max of about 5 seconds.

Since i think your making a electric guitar the wood wont really make that much of difference sure mahogany will have mroe sustain thats poplar but when using massive amounts of distortion it dosent really matter. Poplar is dirt cheap, alder is kinda heavy but still fairly inexpensive, mahogany is heavy and can get pricy. as for the other woods i dunno.

It seems to me that Alder, Ash, Mahogany and Basswood are some of the most popular woods.

Has anyone ever tried an Ash bodied guitar? How does it sound like?
