 This is an ugly guitar both for how it looks and what it is.

Some choice quotes from a thread by someone looking to buy one: quote:No, it is doubtful that anyone else in the world is making "instruments" in this design. The market for vaguely bass-shaped, impressionist, to scale models is very small. quote:Ah, you fail to see the advantage! With the top being made of aromatic cedar, you can store extra gig clothes inside. quote:It has a handle, guys. For all the players who find a bag/case unnecessary when transporting their instrument, and who desire to walk around carrying their bass like a briefcase.

Gerty posted:I'm not going to read this whole thread, but... yeah the wood and internal structures of an electric guitar changes the way the strings vibrate, which changes the signal created by the pickup, which changes the sound when it comes out of the amp. So like the wood type matters, whether it's hollow matters, if it's hollow then the bracing inside matters. I've got a bridge to sell you.

Painted with only the most finely tuned tonelacquer. Personally I think a guitar sounds better with a fine tonevarnish over a tonelacquer. e: Aged for 18 years in oak barrels underneath the rolling hills of Scotland.

don't forget about that kind of rare brazillian rosewood that you can only harvest one tree a year and they make flamenco guitar fretboards from

the idea of tone materials is really funny to me since i use three different distortion stages (tube screamer, bogner uberschall pedal, jcm800 with the pre turned all the way up) so every guitar sounds the same

I'm not into to any of that dumb expensive poo poo, but if you think you can take a pickup out of a strat and put it in an acoustic and it won't change the sound, you are very dumb and wrong.

Okay let me give you an analogy. You are standing 10 feet in front of a lit 10kW floodlight on a navy base at high noon. Now light a candle. Did anything change?

I think it`s pretty well established that unless you`re playing guitar direct to amp at an undistorted volume, you`d have to be the Einstein of hearing things to tell the difference between most guitar bodies. Throw in some distortion and other effects and poo poo gets muddy. Throw in a bassist, a singer, and a set of drums, and your precious tone is a fart in a hurricane.

Well yeah, but that wasn't really what I was talking about. I used a more extreme example of an acoustic guitar. The strings on them actually vibrate much differently than a solid body guitar, so if you put a pickup in one it will sound different. Those pickups they make to put in the sound hole are basically the same thing as in an electric guitar, they only sound more like an acoustic guitar when plugged in because the body of the guitar changes the vibration of the strings.

Yes but that has jack poo poo to do with the wood. Apart from the thought experiment of comparing a guitar made of balsa to a guitar made of lead, you are not going to hear a difference from the material it is made from. corgski fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Jan 27, 2014 |

there's another guy that did another experiment that came up with a bolt-on neck having the best sustain compared to set-in and neck-thru. it was published in a magazine, but here's the summary: http://liutaiomottola.com/myth/neckJointSustain.htm

volume and proximity to the speakers affects sustain more than anything else anyway
