I am looking for opinoins of other fellow musicians and hi gainers on this topic.
I have two Ibanez 7 String Prestige 1570 guitars Basswood bodies 5 peice maple/walnut neck with Bareknuckle Aftermath pickups. I have an Ibanez RGA121 Mahogany Body with maple top and 5 peice maple walnut neck with emgs. I also have an ESP/LTD MH-417 mahogany body neck-thru 3 peice maple neck with emgs.
Don't get me wrong I love my Ibnez 7 strings, however the seem to be much more harsh and cut less than the Ibanez RGA121. I am wondering if the mahogany body is a better choice of wood for my 7 strings than the basswood. The only problem I have ever had with Mahogany was on an ibanez Iceman i purchased through EMGS in it and it was just too fat sounding no matter what I did it was bassy terrible.
Does anyone here have experince with Mahogany, Basswood, Alder etc. I would like to find out what my top options would be to get the sound I am looking for. It just seems like the Ibanez 7 strings I have like I said are very harsh sounding. To me they make the mids sound too honky the bass to flubby and the highs to shrill. I just became aware of this by accident when I decided to pick my RGA back up and do a song on the six string thinking maybe Id have some inspiration from it and it just sounded amazing. All the issues I thought where Axe-Fx issues went away everything fell into place. The mids cut through right the highs sat where I believe they should be and the bass was tight and heavy.
Any suggestions, tips, or insight would be much appreciated.
