I'm considering another customshop guitar and want to go for something different. Right now I'm trying to decide what wood to use. (never can remember what woods have what tonal properties) I prefer Mahogany but have 2 already, and am unsure if EMG's would sound good with it or maybe just stick with Alder.
Also this would be a 2 hum guitar with an ebony board. For the pickups I'm leaning toward trying out some EMGs since I have Duncans and Dimarzio's in my current guitars. So I'm thinking an 81 in the bridge, but not sure what for neck. 60, 60A,85?.
I would like something that I could actually get a decent clean tone with as I tend to use the neck for that aswell as some warmer lead tones, but maybe the EMG's arent the best choice for this.
Stylewise I like to play stuff from Eric Johnson to various Metal. This guitar is leaning toward being more of a Metal guitar but it still would be nice to get an ok clean tone for softer Opeth songs and whatnot.
So any opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
