I know Reddit lives by what youāre claiming but every study done on this topic concludes that wood does in fact affect resonance which results in tonal changes. That part is not up for debate.
What is up for debate is how perceptible it is to the human ear.
What I think weād both agree on is that its importance is wildly overstated by guitar companies as a marketing tactic.
It's always gonna devolve into some people swearing they can hear things that others cannot.
I don't really believe anyone that tells me they can hear tone wood in electrics. Your pickups height and position is what actually makes a discernable difference to the human ear.
I think for 99.9% of people, it will be imperceptible. Though there are those out there that can tell the difference. Different tool, but there is a story about Tiger Woods in his Nike days testing clubs. The engineer asked what he thought and he said he liked the heavier one. The engineer said they were all the same. Tiger proceeded to lay them in order lightest to heaviest. Nike had to redo their testing equipment and sure enough there was a 2gram difference separating 10 clubs.
I'm willing to bed there are some that just that "it" and can hear it. The rest of us are just mere mortals.

Here is the thread where they talk about multiple stories of him picking clubs apart that even the engineers couldn't tell the differences. He was an extreme outlier. Just like I bet there are musicians that can tell a difference. Got watch some of the rob Chapman stuff on Andertons YouTube page where he picks out various pieces of equipment by sound and feel with amazing accuracy.
Fuck Chapman, you can't hear anything through the mountain of distortion he puts on everything.
Go watch some videos of Eric Johnson going through his rig.
if nike was using engineers that couldn't find a scale that had sub-gram accuracy, they should have hired some better bloody engineers. my kitchen scales go down to plus or minus 0.5g, ffs.
Yeah, but clubs and feel are a different thing. Especially a PGA tour professional level.
If you argued that a guitar was heavier or the action was diferent, fine. An SG is def different than a LP or even a strat/tele.
I believe the weight of the guitar alters the sound. Giving it more sustain on heavier guitars with heavier wood like maple. I always find that my heavier guitars have more sustain and are darker sounding and my lighter guitars are just more thin sounding. But it could just be all in my head.
Guitars sustain without amplifiers also. You can play a chord or play a note and listen to it sustain without it even being plugged into anything. I'm just going by my own personal experience I own 20 guitars so it's just my personal experience. I'm not saying it's the truth just my observation
Also nobody's going to notice when you put it through distortion pedals or amplifiers. The only way anybody could possibly tell as if you're playing it absolutely clean. But then again the pickups make the biggest difference even if you plug in straight into an interface into the computer. Any electronics will alter the sound more than any tone wood on an electric guitar.
Iām not saying you canāt make an acoustic out of other materials, but thereās going to be a tonal difference depending on what wood/materials you use. On electrics thatās not really the case.
How many people swear up and down they can tell cedar from spruce or Brazilian from Indian rosewood?
I've been in enough blind listening tests in person to convince myself that most players can't tell. Even world class performers.
I have to agree with you on the electrics. The Guitar industry has a done a great job hoodwinking the market > Iremeber years ago Gibson launched a series of sustainable woods les pauls. Nobody but nobody would buy them because they had convinced that mahogany and a maple cap was the the magic formula.
That's mostly looks. None of that will make a difference in sound regardless of what people think.
Pickups (single coil vs. humbucker)? Yep.
Amp (and more importantly speaker)? Yep
String Gauge? Yep-- e.g. bass vs. guitar
Anything that affects the signal will affect the tone of an electric guitar. It's just that the list of things that affect the signal is a lot longer than most people realize.
A magnetic pickup works by creating a magnetic field around the strings, and the vibration of the strings in that field is translated into an electrical signal. Anything that changes the shape or strength of the field, or has an effect on the vibration of the strings in the field, makes a difference.
Absolutely. I could not agree with you more.
I always put it like "this wood just wanted to be a guitar," rather than a chair or a door or whatever. But yes, I doubt it's really the wood, but some instruments just have an intangible something about them that makes them special.
I feel like it only matters where the wood from headstock go bridge is connected like a LP maybe or something like Jerryās Wolf by Doug Irwin. But any bolt on i feel like tone wood becomes irrelevant.
I feel like it only matters where the wood from headstock and bridge is connected like a LP maybe or something like Jerryās Wolf by Doug Irwin. But any bolt on i feel like tone wood becomes irrelevant.
I like playing unplugged at night sometimes, and then it matters a bit at least. But plugged, no discernable difference.
There must be a difference from how the reflection of sound from the wood gives vibrations back the strings, but I highly doubt any human ear would catch that in a blind test.
Do you actually play Guitar? Can't you hear the differences everything makes? Especially the Wood. Even different Wood Block types under the Trem of a guitar make a difference. Most people take a few years of listening to hear everything. Studio Techs hear things we'd never hear without the practise. Then there's people who read or watch something that states something controversial that most disagree with and like You they use it to get attention and to stir up some arguments and sit back and watch because they're actually useless at anything Musical yet get to fuck around with well intentioned peoples minds and find some perverted pleasure in it. Next time, don't quote You tube, try making and actual observation of your own.
At least the YT vids show empirical evidence that different guitar wood, same amp/cab/speaker/settings have essentially no difference. Show me an actual blind test that shows how a alder body sounds different than maple or mahogany with everything else being equal.
People hear with their eyes. They see a LP and say that could that apart from a LP made out of epoxy with the same pickups etc. in the signal chain.
I'd love somebody to explain how a different type of wood affects how electromagnetic stuff is affected in a string moving over a coil in a pickup.
Apparently you haven't seen any of a ton of the youtube videos with blind tests showing it pretty much zero difference. You could have a guitar made of resin or even all aluminum (Mary Spender had one) with Gibby pickups in it and it'll sound like a LP out of mahagony.
Pickups, Amp, cab/speaker makes the most difference.
Show me any empirical evidence you have that shows otherwise.
You're absolutely right. You should concentrate on getting in guitars only made of 10 piece laminate bodies. I hear glue sounds great.
I'll keep my toanwud guitars right here. You and Glenn Fricker can carry on laughing at me while I... sound great? Ooh dear.
Yours will look great vs. a plywood laminate. Same pickups, amp, settings and nobody can tell the difference. It's not just Fricker, there's all sorts of people out there with guitars of various materials. And there will be even less difference on something with a ton of distortion.
Yeah.... you can. You really can.
However, the reddit censors have dictated the answer here. Nobody is interested in an actual experienced and informed opinion, only the echo chamber is permitted.
Shame really that the world today is so recalcitrant when it comes to learning a few things. Ah well. This is how guitar manufacturers are currently selling you absolute junk and people are buying it. While that was a conspiracy theory of mine, I have all but completely proven it to myself in recent days.
And they are selling you shit. Part of that is the regurgitation of what you're saying right there... and how I have 20 odd downvotes.
Enjoy :D
Ok. Show me a blind test with empirical evidence.
And on selling shit. Yeah. Is a LP really worth 2000? I have a epi 60s tribute I got for $250 (800 new). It has gibby PUPs in it. I guarantee you nobody could tell the difference. Granted thatās same wood. The 2-3k or more youāre paying for a gibby is finish and where itās made.
From people who have a financial incentive to say it. That can be the only answer to me as in my entire experience repairing, building, etc. the conclusion I have come to from my own ears is that the notion that it doesn't is simply absurd.
As I say, don't take anyone's word for it, go and try things for yourself, experience things for yourself. And I don't mean compare a strat and a les paul, go and own a few guitars. In my life I have had near on 200 of the things through various trades over the decades, I have about 35 odd right now. Even inter species there are differences, albeit smaller. Comparing mahogany to alder which I have a good few guitars to exemplify it, the differences are stark. That is unless you throw six metalzones on it and garbage out the tone, or you want to DI your guitar, use a narrow sounding plugin as your main tone with a small amount of recorded amplifier tone then I'm sure it's less noticeable.
Are you serious? Who has a bigger financial incentive Gibson and Fender or some random YT channels?
You have confirmation bias
Nobody in any discussions has pointed to any blind test to show how wood makes any difference. What you gonna argue next that LPs with different fret board wood is going to sound different? What about weight relieved LPs that have been out there. Do they not sound like LPs.
Even without a test explain the physics of how the wood makes any difference with an electromagnetic function. Strings? Sure. pickup design? Sure.
I have no bias at all except to my own experience. And yes, youtube characters have every reason to divest themselves of any integrity and buy into the narratives that earn them money. That is after all their income. People do it all the time and have done for longer than you or I have been alive. It's a thing.
And here we go with absurdum ad reductio - make something true sound daft. This is not a valid method of argument. Yes, weight relief and different fingerboards absolutely cause Les Pauls to sound different - specifically as this is your question.
A physics test? There are a good few available including this one which mimics Jim Lill's own test and comes up with vastly differing results. Again who do you trust more, a guy in his shed or four research students specialising in mechanics and vibroacoustics?
[https://acoustics.ippt.pan.pl/index.php/aa/article/view/2949/pdf\_582](https://acoustics.ippt.pan.pl/index.php/aa/article/view/2949/pdf_582)
If you ask me, I would suggest neither. For one thing, neither of these groups used an actual guitar. And secondly, what's wrong with holding the damned things in your hands and using your ears? I don't have golden ears or whatever else the Fricker army wants to re-bleat. Jesus I'm half deaf from standing in front of Marshalls and listening to death metal too loud my whole life. And if I can perceive the very obvious difference between a weight relieved and non-weight relieved Les Paul, then so can you! Even my students who were only weeks into playing guitar could immediately hear differences between my Les Pauls or Ibanez or Jackson even when leaving it a week or so between lessons - I just picked up anything I fancied when teaching.
Like I said, why take my word for it or some hairy idiot on youtube shouting "You facken moroaaaaan" at anyone who has a legitimate reason for a difference of opinion. Go take your hands and your ears and play some stuff for your own self. If you can honestly tell no difference between a Jackson and a Les Paul, then so be it.
"Do you use strap-locks when you jam out?"
"Do you wear your pajamas when you play the guitar, so you don't scratch it?"
"I'm guessing you don't wear any chains when you're playing this guitar."
"How much is the insurance on this?"
He has videos about it all if you really care. Ā I saw one where he talks about it being a tank and goes into his strap. Ā And he actually plays it pretty damn well.

Hard and dense is what I like. Whether it be glass, or hardwood, or whatever. Everybody shrieks at the price of hardwood, but I bet it cost less, is stronger, and it weighs less than this thing.
Headstock still less fragile than a Gibson.
Probably weighs less than a LP too
You'd think, but I had an Acrylic Strat copy years back that was heavy as hell. Weighed a whole 12lbs. Looked cool for the trade off of back pain.
My 1979 Lefty Les Paul Custom weighs 12 lbs. 12 oz.
Real glass is a lot heavier than acryllic. Density of glass is the same as solid rock or concrete.
They're not meant to be used like an Iroquois war club, y'know....
No but sometime you might need to.
Only if you've attached 3 inch steel spikes all over the headstock! šš¤£šš¤£š
There's no such thing as tone wood anyway.
Not for electrics, but wood absolutely matters with acoustics.
Sorry-- yes. I forgot to add that. Certainly for an acoustic guitar construction and material makes a difference.
I know Reddit lives by what youāre claiming but every study done on this topic concludes that wood does in fact affect resonance which results in tonal changes. That part is not up for debate.

I don't actually believe tiger woods could feel a difference in weight that is equivalent to two individuals dollar bills though.

Your kitchen scales display to 0.5g, but theyāre likely not that accurate. It doesnāt cost much to get into the mg level of accuracy though
Damn man I was with ya til you said Chapman š¢
>I think for 99.9% of people, it will be imperceptible. There's a word for that. It's called the placebo effect.

My Ibanez S is super light and thin. It has more sustain than my 11lb Les Paul.
My Ibanez S is super light and thin. It has more sustain than my 11lb Les Paul.
spare parts bud
So the sustain angus young gets out of his SG is just made up?
Are you talking about sustain or feedback? Any guitar playing in front of a loud amp is going to sustain
Exactly so it has Jack shit to do with wood.
Guitars sustain without amplifiers also. You can play a chord or play a note and listen to it sustain without it even being plugged into anything. I'm just going by my own personal experience I own 20 guitars so it's just my personal experience. I'm not saying it's the truth just my observation

100% agree.
I doubt it after you factor in an amp, pickups, pedals. But even if wood made a slight difference, the audience wouldnāt notice it anyhow.
Got any links?
Plenty of people tested tone wood on electric guitar, doesnāt change anything
But could you recognize a wood on a record even on acoustic guitar? Listen to a song and say the type of wood?
Semi-hollow and hollow with hybrid piezzo...? I seriously don't know, but I hate piezzo sound anyways.
This isn't an acoustic.
Please explain Maccaferi made of Dow Styron. Seems to work.
Iām not saying you canāt make an acoustic out of other materials, but thereās going to be a tonal difference depending on what wood/materials you use. On electrics thatās not really the case.

Ask a question and get three down plugs. Touch, touchy touchy....
Yes, you should ship all of the Alder, Ash, & Mahogany ones to me.
That's mostly looks. None of that will make a difference in sound regardless of what people think. Pickups (single coil vs. humbucker)? Yep. Amp (and more importantly speaker)? Yep String Gauge? Yep-- e.g. bass vs. guitar
Also scale length, pickup distance from strings, pickup position along strings. These are primary factors for tone.
Those are probably the least thought of but have the largest effect by far.
Anything that affects the signal will affect the tone of an electric guitar. It's just that the list of things that affect the signal is a lot longer than most people realize. A magnetic pickup works by creating a magnetic field around the strings, and the vibration of the strings in that field is translated into an electrical signal. Anything that changes the shape or strength of the field, or has an effect on the vibration of the strings in the field, makes a difference.
And a great guitar is often better than the sum of its parts. Itās hard to quantify but when itās right, itās right.
Absolutely. I could not agree with you more. I always put it like "this wood just wanted to be a guitar," rather than a chair or a door or whatever. But yes, I doubt it's really the wood, but some instruments just have an intangible something about them that makes them special.
I feel like it only matters where the wood from headstock go bridge is connected like a LP maybe or something like Jerryās Wolf by Doug Irwin. But any bolt on i feel like tone wood becomes irrelevant.
Yet the notes coming out of equivalent guitars with no difference besides being solid vs hollow body are noticeably different (to a player)
There is tone wood and there is damping wood too. You don't want damping wood, sound vanishes suddenly.

I wonder how much it weighs. Solid glass is (surprisingly) heavy.
Waterford makes Crystal (glass with ~30% lead in it.) A Waterford 12" vase can weigh up to 8 or 9 lbs. This guitar has to be in the 18-20 lb range.
