BKPs in my first Custom Guitar!!!
« on: July 02, 2007, 09:25:38 PM »
Finally! I am about to order my first custom guitar!

Jackson Randy Rhoads Custom Shop

the pickups I'll be using are 2 humbuckers:
Cold Sweat neck & Nailbomb Bridge

already have all the specs done, finish, paint, 24 frets... but...

Only have 1 problem... The Woods!!

I will be using Ebony fingerboard thats the only thing I'm sure about. But I need to know which neck and body woods to use with the cold sweat nailbomb combo.

What woods would sound better for my pickup selection?

alder with maple neck, Korina, Mahogany?

I need the best sounding wood for my cold sweat and nailbomb... can you help me out?

It will sound good in any wood, most people go for a Nailbomb in basswood, i don't know the reaon why but that's just how it happens.
However, a selection of people on the forum (including me) have had Nailbomb in mahogany and it works great.
I have just switched my Holy Divers from basswood Ibanez to a Greco Les Paul which is mahogany with maple top, sounds great in both.

I think what i am saying here is get the wood that you like best and the bkp's will perform well whatever the circumstances.
