I passed on a walnut LP years back that sounded great but didn't "look cool"

Pretty sure he could play the crap out of it...
I had a walnut bodied Taylor W-14 acoustic for a short time. I liked it in the store, but grew to dislike it as I used it.
That experience would probably put me off buying a walnut electric. There are probably reasons it's not a traditional tone wood.

Totally deflated....
Maybe not a bad thing at all though.

I should be practicing right now.
Pretty sure Gibson is/has been using Walnut for the back & sides of some acoustics lately...

Very interesting!
My favorite 20 year old dread acoustic has walnut back and sides. I try out most every acoustic I see that has walnut because of it. Most of them don’t compare favorably. Not sure if it carries over to electric guitars the same. I would say it has string fundamental note definition. Good deal of midrange, not as bright as maple. More overtones than mahogany but less than rosewood. Again, my acoustic usually wins out in most comps for me. It’s a cannon. Loud and out front.

I have built a couple of guitars with black walnut bodies with maple tops and they sound great. Warm and punchy with a nice clarity. I am getting ready to build another one soon.
