If you could only have one electric guitar-persish the thought. what wood would it be made out of and why? This question came to me while researching making my own guitar. I know that there are many of us that play many different types of music so I'm asking this in a general manor. Or in other words what would you consider to be the most versital wood sound wise? For me it would have to be Swamp Ash. It's darker then Alder but not as dark as Mahogany.
