Basswood sucks

And why should anyone value your opinion in any way?

Isn't one of John Norum's favorite Strat's a Basswood body??

Personally, I have no dog in this race. If it sounds good it is good. Alder, Ash, Poplar, Basswood, Sheet Rock, Particle Board, Cardboard

Don't forget plywood! Tone is in the plies.

wood doesn't matter in solid body electric guitars.

So who on this forum has both the basswood import Adrian Smith Jackson and the alder US version? You can settle this once and for all

I want a one pc body les paul in the current ebony they offer with an unpainted back, but not yet committed and not prepared to pay silly (IMO) custom shop prices. Why is an Axcess (?) a buzillion dollars?

His tone was buns after he switched to basswood bodies.

When did he switch to basswood bodies? Which VH albums don't you like the tone?

I thought the AS import model was "poplar".

I mean seriously, a "tone"wood that not only dents easily but also sounds like hogshit. Once again one of the "great" innovations of the guitar world to start using a wood that's faster/easier to work with and is also cheaper especially when bought in large quantities, Whoop-de-doo.

John Suhr and other "boutique" builders that use this P.O.S wood are just having a piss laughing at all the mouth breather of artists that decide to use this fucking specimen in their guitars.

My day gets always ruined when I see a guitar with a basswood body and some zoomer playing it with a grin on his face, fuck outta here.

A more fitting name to it would be if you'd just remove the B from the name.

It's a nice weather outside, I think I'll go for a walk to get this shit out of my head.

Still, when did I say that you should?

Typical…

Damn, you're right - I forgot that - ignore me

Thanks for the factcheck and probably a reminder why I chose a strat over the AS import for a 1st bolt-on. I really want to check out the US AS, but have since learned how much I like Fender necks, but still..

Shame about OP, epic post to start this thread..lol

Ive turned down several AS imports, love the look but not very well made.
