Tone wood does have an impact, just not as much of a difference as some people make it out to be. Tone mostly comes down to pickups, amp selection, and playing style. Different densities and weights have different properties, but it doesn’t make as big of an impact as a lot of people say.
-
Density = weight. More weight = a deeper tone. It’s much more noticeable on clean tones, and but is slight, but it’s there. I think that Paul Reed Smith and his obsession with tone woods is stupid, but there is scientific proof that it makes an impact.
-
That’s completely inaccurate. Different wood resonates uniquely due to its quality, density or lack there of, how it’s cut, if it’s multiple layers, solid piece, hollow body or semi hollow body also have bracing which is different wood. Alder doesn’t sound like ash etc It also feels differently on fretboards. Maple feels vastly different than rosewood or ebony. Theres a multitude of reasons why I have 50 plus guitars. My 65 doesn’t sound or play like my 95 etc. They’re totally different. Necks are also different and feel and play differently. They’re also tools of my trade. Strats sound different than teles and teles sound different than a country gentleman, 335 or a Les Paul. That also doesn’t cover playing live, where you need back ups for everything n case something goes wrong. If you’ve ever toured or done professional studio work you’d understand.

The Hermit IXにより編集済み: 8/14/2024 7:09:44 PMI don’t particularly like PRS guitars. They lack personality and there’s no connection to me playing with one. Great company, well made instruments but not my cup of tea. I own a studio. I also have a sizable amp collection. They’re all different too. It’s the unique combinations of both that create magic. When cutting tracks you need specific tools to get the best tones and sounds that fit the genre of music you’re recording. I’ve listed a multitude of reasons why the same model of guitar doesn’t equate to the same tone. It’s like comparing a 68 Camaro to an Iroc and saying they’re the same car. They’re both cars, they’re both Camaros but they’re vastly different. If you were a carpenter, you wouldn’t have one hammer, saw and screw driver to get things done. Your opinion is fine for a novice but you’d never ever get pro session work or touring gigs with that logic.

Wood and humbuckers dont sound massively different a les Paul is a les Paul and a strat is a strat The biggest variation in toan is vox, fender or Marshall even a dumble is just a modded fender circuit It’s pure snake oil

The Hermit IXにより編集済み: 8/14/2024 7:22:28 PMVox and Marshall are class A while things like Twins and Supers are class A-B amplification. They sound different too but no all guitars don’t sound the same, feel the same and aren’t created equal my Guy. We didn’t even breach the aging of wood and how its tone changes. With the logic you’re applying a dime store knock off would be your best bet as a player. So yeah if you’re playing a guitars made with ply wood and hum-buckers, they’d all sound similar but would still feel different. It takes players a while to hear subtle differences but with time in the trade you’d realize how the differences are vast at times. Otherwise no companies would spend the time making instruments with high quality and different woods which has become much rarer these days. What do you do for a living?

Nah it’s not conspiracy at all. It’s part of the gig. Like I listed, there’s a multitude of reasons why you’d have more than one of the same model of guitar. It’s not as simple as labeling someone an elitist or using generalizations about instruments. If you did pro session work and touring you’d understand that it’s a must, expected and would be unprofessional otherwise. Enjoy your day.
-
Sure and something as simple as breaking a string, or an input jack going south while preforming. It’s why players have guitars lined up to go for techs to swap out during live performances. My rule is to have two of everything when performing including the type of guitars I’m using. If it can go wrong, it will eventually do just that.
-
lol and you think a 65 Les Paul sounds the same as a new one. You think the only reason you’d have more than one guitar would be for alternate tuning. Which is most likely a simple drop D tuning and hip shot would cover that. Now that’s funny. I’m sure your one guitar worked well at your “stadium gigs” back in the day haha. Even awful players, using one sound have more than one of the same guitars when playing any normal venue. Good lord you try to sell bridges too? These forums never cease to amaze me.
