Aren't you nitpicking his nitpicking? And I just nitpicked yours.

 

[Marshall & Moonshine]

the real question is how well could the wood breathe?
i have no doubt that guitars sound different with different woods. i think we all knew that. lol
but can you really hear the differences in a band?

My guitar sounds different at 30 deg cel compared to 20 deg cel, it’s more Page like at 20 deg, I thinks that due to living in the U.K. like Jimmy does. You guys wil never get true Page tone ‘cos your country is too warm. It’s all to do with air density, the denser the air, the denser the tone.

 

[MikeyTheCat]

I would say makes the whole thing kinda stupid (well not stupid but not a good representation) with the bridge, pick up and neck are in the same piece of wood on every different body wood.

And he makes that point in the video.

What brand of batteries do you use in your effect pedals?

 

[MikeyTheCat]

If it sounds good, it is good. That's all I care about.

That’s a horrible criteria.

I know right? I should update it to include sampling the dirt that the tree grew in for soil purity

Agreed.

Remember when all of Les Paul's guitars went on auction? He had a bunch of different (homemade) set ups for swapping pups and the like. Playing around with this stuff is great fun. I have always enjoyed it. He was seeking (I think) the ability to A/B pups with one static (i.e. not changing) signal chain from the strings to the recording media and only change the pups. This is sort of the reverse, keep the recording set up static, use the same strings and move the pups from guitar to guitar (no caddy, screw 'em in, solder them tight). After all of that, you need to listen to the recordings directly through neutral amps and monitors and not filtered through the internet and played on a laptop speaker...

 

[Uncle Vinnie]

Now that's tone wood wood!

 

[Bobby Mahogany]

Am I a heretic if I say that the wood (on electric guitars) is there to look good?

It's also there to hold the hardware and strings in a certain way.
Otherwise, you know... no guitar!

 

[Bobby Mahogany]

I'm waiting for Bobby M to jump in.

You think I'd follow a color blind person wanting to take me to a Painting Exposition?

 

[Bobby Mahogany]

He did.

Give his son a Norlin Custom!
A Randy Rhodes model maybe.
And he'd be fine.
