Unless it's slippery, isn't well-balanced, transmits too much of the impact into your forearm...Nobody will care about the hammer handle wood, including the guy using it, as long as it doesn't break.

Do I smell an Epiphone user?Trust the science.

It’s difficult because you have to please yourself. Everyone could gig a squire and a pv bandit but most of us don’t. So draw your own lines .I fall into the camp of none of this shit matters as much as we think, but this shit really matters if you’re the type of person that it really matters to.

I draw my line a lot lower with guitars than I do amp/processors. I would much rather gig or live with a squier and an FM3 than a custom shop and a bandit, no matter how good the pedalboard feeding the Bandit.It’s difficult because you have to please yourself.

#firstrigsquire and a pv bandit
Applies to amps too.I draw my line a lot lower with guitars than I do amp/processors. I would much rather gig or live with a squier and an FM3 than a custom shop and a bandit, no matter how good the pedalboard feeding the Bandit.
Im not sure what to think about this tbh.
One thing im certain of:
Someone could play my electric guitars unplugged…and I’d recognize each blindfolded.
However…record them electric…and I couldn’t tell the HB guitars from the single coils.
So…my conclusion is…that for the electric sound it has far less impact then what it does acoustically.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the differences are mostly output level related..how much energy gets drained from the string…so that mostly translates to attack/sustain ratio. But impact on actual frequency output…I’m sceptical…it’s a magnet picking up a piece of iron vibrating (string)…not a microphone..unless you have microphonic pups (which can be very cool ime)
That said..I play my guitars u plugged 9/10…so good acoustics is worth the price of admission…and…somehow more expensive guitars feel better…placebo or not…whatsever works
Btw…my fav amplified nylon guitar sound is a Yamaha silent guitar….no body/acoustic whatsoever…what to make of that?
Plywood is a legendary tone wood

Not sure but it sounds great when Jack plays it :)That’s the steel string version
Never seen one with a pup visual….early version?
Everything matters. The degree to which each bit matters, and why/how it matters however is wildly subjective.Im not sure what to think about this tbh.

You don't need any of that either to make music actuallyamazing music can be made on absolute shite
You can take the reductionist thing as far as you want, but it doesn't benefit anyone, and it can always go further.
