TONEWOODS

How Different Tonewoods Shape Your Sound

THE SOUND OF TONEWOODS

We all know an electric guitar's tone comes from various areas: the timbers used, construction method, quality of construction, hardware, pickups and amplifier. We can swap out pickups, we can change an amplifier, or we can even add effects into the mix, but we can't change the tonewoods. Once a guitar is built, so it is very important to get this right in the first place. Let us be honest here - the average person couldn't care less which tonewoods are being used when you're blasting out a solo at the local bar. But you do. Or at least you should do. 

Whilst the amplifier and pickups take the majority of the tonal load, it is important to remember they only amplify the basis of the guitar being the construction and timbers used. We firmly believe all good guitars start with a well selected set of tonewoods, and then ADD pickups to suit the chosen timbers.

Below are a selection of woods that are popular for guitar building; whilst we stock many of these please contact us prior to ensure availability and if it will be a suitable wood for the guitar you have in mind!
