Getting Ready for Build #1: Wood help


I have finally decided on a Star body for my first build.
Much like the Gus G and Roope Latvala signatures.


I use a SS stack (Randall RG80ES) and will be putting in Alnico V Twin Blade Humbuckers (Wilde Bill's), a Gotoh Floyd, and either a Maple/Maple or Maple/Rosewood neck.

Many say this kind of combination is shrill and sterile, with low, un-pronounced mids...


1. Which body wood would help make up for this "lack of mids", while still keeping a pronounced bottom and bell-like highs?


2. I am also interested in a pickup boost for leads, like the EMG AB and PA2. What would you recommend for a boost?
