Ha! Guthrie Govan's latest signature Suhr guitar features a basswood body- there are many people out there who are very dismissive when it comes to all things basswood; they don't vene want to listen when you mention this wood type.

what's wrong with basswood anyway?
exactly- what's terribly wrong with basswood?
maybe the reason is that basswood is cheap
mahogany is cheap too.
basswood is for bass?
cos some basswood sound like shit and others sound decent?? no idea...sold off my basswood guitar b4 i had a decent amp to try it out on
basswood is for bass? our pronunciation for this word is to blame: http://theguitaraddict.blogspot.com/2010/09/partial-explanation.html
I asked someone before the same qn. He said tat it's because basswood is featured more on the lower tier guitars like squiers while Fender feature other types of wood like alder. So since it's featured on the low-end guitars, it is lousy. (which is a fallacy). Shd have asked him what about ibanez.
in Fender's case, they are propelling single coil tones more than anything else so the wood type used have to complement this consideration.
