Electric Guitar Coloring 01!

...The body is one of the most important parts of the guitar because it brings the resonance out from the wood. Popular choices that are used: Basswood, Alder, Spruce, Swamp Ash, Mahogany, Walnut, Koa, Korina, Soft or Hard Maple, Lacewood, and Rosewood. The guitar tone is greatly influenced by the body wood since the body is the main part.

Here are suggested tones and their corresponding wood types that will create great tone: for low midrange: Mahogany, Spruce and Alder is the best choice. For high midrange: Walnut, Lacewood, Korina and Koa is your pick. For bass sound: basswood is considered. For high tone: the best choices are Swamp Ash, Maple and Rosewood.

Now, when it comes to pick ups, there are two types: single coil and humbucker. Various brands have come up to modify your sound and tone. The nature of a single coil is clear in sound in high bright tone. Having a humbucker brings a warm and flat sound that is ideal for distortion and high output sounds. Each gives a unique definition in sound.

These are the basis of a great sounding electric guitar. Be sure to listen to other famous guitar players and try to see what tone best suits your choice. Enjoy and have fun playing your guitar!
