Are there any specific guitars that are better or well suited for ambient music?

thanks

i'm pretty sure there was a thread on this in this very forum. just use the search.

although, 'metal' guitars are cool in my opinion.

Some effects track better with a single coil in the neck, and I've personally found that sort of pickup more manageable with an e-bow. But then again you might not want it to track, you might want it to glitch, so...eh personally I ended up buying a Jag instead of the Jazzmaster I'd set out to buy, because I thought it responded better with heaps of effects.

jet king 2, the coil taps make it really versitaile

I find my hollowbody works really well.

But most ambient and post-rock guitarist use fenders (esp jazzmasters/jaguars).
Quite a few use aluminium neck guitars.

surprisingly enough, i get a really great ambient sound out of my Fender Telecaster FMT. it's all mahogany, set neck, two coil-splittable SD pickups (a pearly gates and a reverse-wound 59).
