Yes. Sure, but not all roles are equally big. Body wood's role is basically non-existent. Wherever the evidence points: whatever best models reality. If you have evidence that strongly indicates the body wood does matter, I'd love to hear it.

Feathers.

Why is that relevant? What matters is having accurate measurements of how guitars behave, and what we hear, and being able to use those two things to build a predictive model that matches reality. If you have evidence from your numerous builds that shows it must be the wood, then I'm all ears...

Mmmm, and how much would you say those pimptastic purple with gold hardware guitars are influencing your opinion?

I linked a book on that early in the thread.

Dan: "You don't have enough experience with guitars." Pipeline: "I have plenty of experience with guitars." Dan: "LOL, get a life, virgin."

Someone made a memorial listing. https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/msg/d/albuquerque-am-iron-man/7867841147.html I nominated it for Best Of.

Except, we don't usually hammer on our guitars to play them and the energy you're delivering to the guitar body by knocking on it would seem to be much larger than is realistic for an actual playing scenario where you're not whacking the guitar.

No of course not, which is why experiments are performed and data is collected on the matter, which is then stuck in a book. Like you how you just summed up your experience in a post. Perhaps you meant that you think whatever stuff in books of compiled data contradicts your experience, and in...

Interesting... So the Blackout and 81 are near identical. Makes sense, but didn't expect that much similarity. The prop pickup sounding similar to both is another surprise. The 87 and 707 sounding similar makes sense since I assume from the numbering one is a 7 string version of the other (but...

Assuming that by "ONLY the body" you mean like what Warmoth did, all the hardware, electronics, etc. were taken off the old body and put on the new, then a couple things that I remember from skimming sources come to mind. But, I need to do a deeper dive into the literature before I can give an...

I meant out of A, D, & E. I didn't check all 5's levels. But could be, though my guess is it was an EMG. I'd say not into the front of the amp, at least to start. Recording output though I think should be matched. If we're being thorough though, would probably want several sets of matched and...

Unpredictability indicates there's some difference somewhere. There are more things than just the wood that can vary.

Neither of which are known for their grasp of physics. One is a guitar player, one is a luthier, neither occupation requires being a physicist. Brawer kinda gives away that he's unaware of the physics of guitars too here: https://www.guitarplayer.com/gear/nine-things-guitarists-get-wrong...

To start with, here's a whole book on the electric guitar. Chapter 7 talks about the neck and body. https://gitec-forum-eng.de/the-book/ There's measurements of the audio spectrum, as well as measurements of what parts of a guitar are actually vibrating and transferring energy to each other...

How do you figure? The physicists and engineers who make it their business to study dynamic systems, and apply it to guitars, say the opposite (regarding body wood).
