Metal moving through a coil creates voltage. A string vibrates - oscillates in the pickup’s magnetic field. The wood is organic and non ferrous and unaffected by the magnetic resonance. It’s what makes surviving an MRI possible.

However the vibration being measured by the pickups is not unaffected by the wood.

Forest for the trees….

I already pointed you in the direction of what to research. Which is entirely up to you on whether you want to or not until you are convinced one way or the other. You’re free to understand the system, and believe what you will, in whichever way you believe to be adequate.

We don’t have to agree.

That’s a cop out. There’s no data. You quote something you didn’t even read.
 
Just to implode a few heads…

That was an interesting read, thanks for posting Gary.

Kind of strange how our resident nuclear physicists gloss over the whole "how the string vibrates in a figure eight" part of the equation :unsure:

Although, at the same time, I think a lot of guitar players don't really define terms like "tone" very well in the first place; if you can't separate a players playing from the gear, you aren't going to be very good at distinguishing the effects different parts of the system have in the resulting sound.

its a sine wave and the wood is irrelevant to its cycle, and are mathematically derived relative to the fundamental. Wood doesn’t impart any salt into the brew. The wood is just table for the hot food, it doesn’t contribute to the foods flavor, or temperature… I’ve seen boutique Strats made of resin, cardboard and crayons that sound that just like wood.

Do you really want me to embarrass you with a trig lesson?

You've done enough embarrassing yourself in the thread already biggest cuck - people are much more predisposed to listen to RSM's anti-tonewood style

All you've done it make yourself look like a posterboy for the dunning-krueger effect

That all you do is throw around terms with no understanding. Better watch it boy before someone takes you down a peg!

No sir. It is not a sine wave created by the strings.

The strings pass vibrations to the body which, in turn, the body sends some of those vibrations back.

Some of these interactions may raise certain aspects of the tone or even cancel some out.

Absolutely it’s a sine wave with both terminus at y=0.
