GIVEAWAY Let's Build a RIG-TALK Signature Guitar- DAY 3 Runoff READ THE OP BEFORE VOTING PLEASE

[NowYou'rePlayingWithPower]

I voted for Ash, but after further thought, am glad that Mahogany won. I prefer the general tonal profile of Mahogany. Fun idea!

Those are def my two favorite tonewoods.
I could go either way (cue that's what she said remarks).

Some guitars in my top 5 or 6 would be ash, but I find it very hit and miss. The vast majority of the time I’ve only liked the sound of ash on Tele’s. Honduran mahogany or alder I find much more consistent in sounding good and how I’d expect

My favorite Strat-species guitar is my first partscaster from about 25 years ago and it has an Alder body with Maple top. So I voted Alder but is a Maple top out? If we want a transparent finish Alder is pretty boring. But then I don’t like gaudy ‘10 tops’ either.

There will be a poll later regarding the finish which would also be multipart (ie; stain, gloss, metallic, natural, etc... followed by color, stain/flame/quilt/koa/walnut/1890s wallpaper, etc..).

Where do you sign up at? I’m in ftw

Dumb question because I have never owned either…soloist is neck thru right? What is a san dimas? Bolt on? Jc…

 

[VonBonfire]

What is a san dimas?

 

[7704A]

Would you settle for a lollipop stick guitar body?

Not my build, I wouldn't have the patience to do something like this.

With tootsie pop knobs, yes.

I should clarify this is more dinky than soloist as this first build will be bolt on and should have been marked as dinky, it just wouldn't let me edit (soloist/dinky are generally the same 7/8 size body one being bolt on the other neckthrough). You are correct.

I voted basswood. It was a legit common superstrat tone wood back in the day. My number one beater is basswood with a high output pickup.

I won’t vote from here forward - not really a fan of any of the combinations above. I’ll let others have at it.

There will be more to come.
I trust your judgement and preferences, but don't let the latter stop you from participating in what you would prefer given the available options.
If not, no worries and see you on the next build!
