Allright gang, hoping this is not the kind of story hated by all. Casino with Gibson pickups -- sold for a minor setup problem -- had a nice woody sound. Looking for a single cutaway.
What are the factors for best woody sound? Very good, or best Jazz archtops may be liked without this quality, but suits my taste.
Annnd: Which promotes that woody sound? Choose one or more:
single coil or humbuckers
maple top or spruce
laminated top or solid (even pressed)
bridge -- metal or wood
after market pickup -- bridge or try K & K Pure Mini 3-head transducer on archtop?
Moved this back to the Guild section since I did try the current spruce top with Dearmond -- a very electric sound to me.
