« on: March 19, 2015, 06:36:49 PM »
Hi guys, Im planning on getting two more bkp sets : juggernauts and blackhawks.
BUt first, i woudl like to have a general view on the best matches for Basswood body, Mahogany Body, and Alder bodied guitars, and specifically for basswood/maple neck combinations, since i have an RG550 .

WHich bare knuckles matches better guitars with floyd rose and mahogany body?
WHich bare knuckles matches better guitars with floyd rose and basswood body? what about an additional maple neck/freatboard ?
WHich bare knuckles matches better guitars with floyd rose and Alder body?

Thanks in advance

The Nailbomb set with my fender, alder body + maple fretboard, doesnt match that well
the amp is a Evh 5150 III Head

It all depends on the result you want. The "best" is all a matter of opinion without an objective.

However I have s load of old youtube vids and instagram things that you may find useful.
I use 3 different types of rg and two different types of jem.
If you want I can take an EQ request using my gear and you can create your own test through me.

I have;
rg550 - rosewood board, miracle man bridge, crawler neck.
RG550 - rosewood board original v1, v2, s1 pickups (tuned to d) can be used for comparison puposes.
RG550 -maple board, Holy Diver bridge, irish tour middle, vhii neck.

Jem - alder, ebony board, evos set. (Used for comparison)
Jem - basswood,  maple neck, flipped evo neck, modded v8 bridge. (Tuned to c) (for comparison)

Frm250mf -mahogany,  maple top, rosewood board, les paul scale length,  tuned to Eb, dimarzio air classic set. (For comparison)

Amp- blackstar ht studio 20 or fender vaporizer
pedals- boss dd7, ds-1x l, Dunlop wah, danelectro french toast, danelectro reel echo.
 (Ps I won't be swapping any pick ups around)

hope I helped!
