[sully]

well, as long as you stay away from studs n' krylon, you should be okay.

"Nutz" Kind of catchy

Mark just needs to make sure he practices what he preaches by wearing the respirator. Those fumes.......

Why don't you go for the LTD version of the ESP KH3

Which is the signature model for metallica Guitarist Kirk Hammet. The LTD version is affordable and has all what you specified.

yeah but that headstock is gross, and it's wacko import esp.

Damn, are you going to make me apologize to you again??? I thought you'd forgot about that by now!

So I'm looking at the flat top body from warmoth, not too bad of a price, I guess, but I'm thinking of getting it in maple, but what benifits am I actually going to get from alder to maple, etc? I know the tone will be different, but will it be noticable?

[Dave L]

I believe alder versus maple body would cause noticeable difference in tone, yes. Hard to say exactly what, though, since two pieces of the same species not necessarily will sound alike. But "different" isn´t the same thing as "better" either.

[straycat]

Maple will be a lot heavier.
