Controversial gear opinions…….lets hear them.

Agreed. The proof is I get tons of compliments on my Carlos boost every time I wear them onstage.

A woman who knows how to handle a firearm is sexier than a woman who knows how to play the guitar.

That's not controversial.

They 100% do; they just don't know how to quantify it

so the online guitar community at large pretends they don't care about your tone to keep their feelings from getting hurt when they gig with the katana or whatever, and get a bunch of blank looks from the front row

Also, the audience probably doesn't hear fine nuances between different amps, but they do understand and feel the difference in how the guitar player delivers lines. Even if it was all psychosomatic (which it isn't) they would sense the different delivery of a player who's more in tune with their instruments than someone who isn't. There's a reason people who play in orchestra's purchase (or are loaned) very high-end, expensive instruments. It lets them get that little extra out of their performance. It's no different for us, other than we have two primary instruments to worry about - guitar and amp.

A tele with a humbucker is not a tele.
