Mahogany vs Swamp Ash for tight modern metal tones
Tweet. #8. 08-13-2017, 01:21 AM. Re: Mahogany vs Swamp Ash for tight modern metal tones. If you're after tight modern metal then I'm assuming you'll be using pickups of the higher-output ceramic metal-oriented type, therefore I say go with the mahogany body with the maple neck. If you were set on having the alnico warmth then I'd say get the ash.
swamp ash vs alder? - Seymour Duncan User Group Forums
Feb 27, 2009 · I once A/Bed a Swamp Ash Strat vs an Alder Strat (both from Swing) and the alder one was considerably more "musical" I guess I could call it whereas the Swamp Ash one had a much badder attack and bite. Quite similar were the results when I A/Bed some Jazz-bass copies (same shape, alder vs ash bodies). The Alder one was the fuller sounding ...
Humbuckers in a swamp ash guitar? - Seymour Duncan User …
Aug 8, 2007 · I have at least 2 hardtail swampash strats made from Warmoth parts, and 1 is equipped with humbuckers. Although I'm using a PGn, I've been toying with a Jazz Neck, as I think it would sound good with swamp ash. If the 59 doesn't do it for you in the bridge, I'd try a magnet switch to A2 (Torres Engineering sells these for $6).
Swamp Ash Superstrat - Seymour Duncan User Group Forums
Jul 16, 2021 · Swamp Ash Superstrat -- bridge pickup suggestions. 07-16-2021, 06:29 PM. So I built a nice Superstrat, body is swamp ash, neck is maple with a rosewood board. I have a JB in there now along with the Classic Stacks in the neck and middle. The JB is solid, I LOVE the split tone, but it's simultaneously a little harsh and a little weak sounding in ...
Hard Ash Vs Swamp Ash - Seymour Duncan User Group Forums
Jun 16, 2018 · Hard ash is denser and that mean it can sound a bit dead sometimes but it means it pretty bright (brighter than swamp) too, I prefer swamp ash as it’s still bright but usually a bit more resonant. Guitars: Daemoness Atlantean (unknown Bareknuckles) D. PRS SE Mark Holcomb (Alpha/Omega set) Drop C.
weight of swamp ash strat vs. alder strat? - Seymour Duncan User …
Jul 6, 2006 · Swamp ash is lighter since it isn't as dense due to being under water. The "northern" ash is just the stuff higher up on the tree, and it is more dense. Usually heavier and brighter than the swamp ash. You also could just have a heavy piece of swamp ash or a really light piece of alder. It's supposed to be swamp ash, and the guitar isn't THAT ...
Tone Zone in Ash guitar..? - Seymour Duncan User Group Forums
Jun 30, 2007 · I like the Zone in a Maple body so heavy northern ash should work fine. I had a Zone in my 95 USA MG 100 Washburn with a very lightweight swamp ash body though and it was way to dark for me. It depends on the type of ash, hard, heavy and bright northern ash should work well but soft, lightweight and resonate southern swamp ash is gonna be quite ...
Pickups for swamp ash strat with rosewood board
Jun 25, 2018 · It's a swamp ash body and a thick rosewood board. Would this be a bright or warm combination? I'm kind of thinking this would require a brighter set of pickups. Then again swamp ash is supposed to have big bass and treble going on, so I'm not sure. Going to move the middle pickup back next to the bridge pickup just like a certain famous strat has.

Apr 12, 2024 · NGD - PRS SE Swamp Ash Special 04-12-2024, 10:52 AM After playing almost nothing but Telecasters, and currently owning 5 of them (actually one is a Broadcaster), I saw this guitar being advertised and thought I'd take a chance as I have seen several PRS SAS guitars and really liked them.
which pickups ASH BODY + MAPLE NECK/EBONY FRETBOARD
Aug 20, 2006 · Re: which pickups ASH BODY + MAPLE NECK/EBONY FRETBOARD. Read the Suhr website. The denser the wood, the brighter, all else equal. Maple is less dense than rosewood, which is less dense than ebony. Suhr won't use anything but maple boards on ash guitars unless the customer specifically requests it, anything else is too bright.
