IF stainless frets are a little brighter and I prefer fat and warm and round tones(even in " Strats and Superstrats" ) on a custom build :
If I get Stainless Frets for the first time , will a Rosewood board instead of Ebony Balance off the brightness from the stainless ?
Think in terms of a Mahogany body "Superstrat" ( it will really be Koa but think Mahogany) to get the FATTER sides of Strat ( losing a bit of "chime " to be deeper /warmer)- done this already with Maple Neck / Ebony board /Koa body( nickel frets) and it worked BUT I'd like a back up instrument with Stainless Frets- so what do you guys think ?
Will substituting Rosewood offset the slight brightness of the Stainless ?
Thanks.
