Well now I have to see the movie... That's all that means.

Yes. I'll add "repeatable" to "predictable" and then </thread>
The sad thing is that there are "tonewood experts" that preach the tonewood dogma and proselytize against tone wood sins and this-wood laying with that-wood or those-pick-ups.
At least there aren't too many "left-side toan" adherents here.

Ray... What are you talking about? I quoted the title and it was posted well before you had anything to say in this thread. Further, it was in response to the fact that none of the responses up to that point were actually scientific, but just cohesive guesses.
Gibsons are historically mostly humbucker-equipped, which are known to sound darker and muddier, and Fenders are usually built with brighter single coils... could that be a partial origin to the whole tonewood belief?
Acoustic instruments were around long before electrics, origin of tonewood lies with them.
That is why the guys who dont believe in tone wood are rarely guys who are chuggin away on low notes at high gain settings aka metal guys.
that rob chapman vid is fallacy. Not the same person playing, no signal chain chown, they didnt even show if the tone knob was all the way up for both guitars.
Look at this (should help those wanting actual science):
no difference neither perceived nor measuredWhat to believe ? I believe that the Chapman video was definetely exaggerated.
It makes sense that banging the guitar will make a noise, though, it causes the strings to vibrate - which is literally the only thing that the pickups can pick up: vibrating metal.
If I remove the strings and bang on the body there will be no sound?
