Members Joranges Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 It really depends on you really. I'd prefer Alder personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rock-lobster Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 Red is good too:)yeah, people can argue all day but what i find is that color is what affects tone, playability, and durability of a guitar the most.i think the general opinion is: red>blue>green>black>pink>orange>white>purple.

Members Burningleaves Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am more of a traditional "tonewood" kind of guy so I would prefer to go with a nice alderwood body, maple neck and rosewood board......a 60's style Fender tele you might say. That said I have had some nice sounding agathis wood guitars. If on the other hand I was "building" a Telecaster from say Warmoth parts.....I would prol' go for a 70's Tele Custom build. I would spec' it with a mahog' body that has a nice maple top. Neck would be one pc maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
