You're right in that the wood has no effect on the pickups, but it affects how the string vibrates, which then translates in to the pickup. For example, a string hooked up to metal poles secured in concrete will sound different and resonate differently than a string hooked up between two pieces of semi flexible plastic, even if the tension is the same.

@taunokekkonen5733 2 жыл бұрын

I'm leaning towards calling all wood discussion snobbery. Yes if you play a clean sound and have nothing in between your guitar and amp...maybe you'll hear a difference. Live playing via a wireless and a signal chain through speakers..? Nah. In studio, playing via Axe Fx and a long signal chain? Nope.

What i mean by this is that i've noticed that the pickups, scale length, bridge construction, fret material, string brand and gauge all have a bigger effect on tone than any of the woods used because they directly alter the way the string vibrates and for how long. That said you cannot deny that when an electric has it's strings completely muted, is plugged into an amp, and you simply knock the body with your hand you hear different tones from different body woods and body shapes

Hmm, as a guitarist owning several guitars of the same shape, but with different body woods, (mahog, lots of basswood ones, and alder), I've never thought hard about what mostly affects the tone of a solid body electric and have taken it as a given that body wood has a radical effect on tone. I also did the physics until the very end of secondary school. I believe you are mostly correct. Anything that affects the strings and their amplification will have a dominant effect on tone.

@SixStringHarmonies 12 жыл бұрын

The scale and string tension are primary factors to the tone. The original, lengthy discussion was regarding the belief of some that the body material of an electric guitar is the primary element of it's amplified tone. It is a misnomer which manufacturers have borrowed from the world of acoustic guitars, violins, pianos, etc., where body material is the primary factor in tone.

Yes that is true, but what I meant is the EMG pickup's pickups only pickup the strings vibration, they don't pick up the sustain throught the body of the guitar. While Passive pickups pick up a lot of sustain and vibration from the strings AND the body.

@sEaNoYeAh 12 жыл бұрын

The vibrating string causes vibrations in whatever it is fixed to. Put a guitar down, strum it and feel the body -it's vibrating. Wood affects the tone of a note by absorbing some frequencies, causing them to quickly decay; and reinforcing others, causing them to become more prominent and encouraging vibrations of that frequency in the string -which is then in turn picked up by the pickup.

@sEaNoYeAh 12 жыл бұрын

An acoustically resonant object has more than one resonance frequency, especially at harmonics of the strongest resonance. It will easily vibrate at those frequencies, and vibrate less strongly at other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonance frequency from a complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance. I've measured this in a lab, with 15 different woods, and 10 other materials.

@PANICBLADE 12 жыл бұрын

ive heard the difference in true bypass by the way. especially when youre running through 7 peadls with them and 7 without them. its black and white. also i have a video below that shows the tonal differences of identical guitars with ash and alder. look up FGN Ash vs Alder. i can hear a pretty decent difference in this vid. which is saying something because these woods sound similar (supposedly) only exchanging mids for bass.

@SixStringHarmonies 12 жыл бұрын

Some labs have even done tests to see if listeners can differentiate between a tube or solid state amplified audio signal. The results always turn out the same. They test 30 or so people, 29 can't reliably choose, and 1 guy with great ears gets it right every time. Thus, keeping the debates alive. The gear companies that make millions off of all of us work very hard to propel this thinking forward.

@otherrandomhero 12 жыл бұрын

I don't know if you've ever actually played a guitar, but the entire guitar vibrates quite a bit when you pluck a string. Different vibration frequencies are brought out and dampened by different woods depending on density and porousness. These vibrations go back into the strings and are picked up by the pickups. If you disagree with this theory, think about how different a guitar sounds with new strings compared to old ones. The different from wood isn't huge, but it's definitely significant.

@PANICBLADE 12 жыл бұрын

im not saying wood or construction, and hardware doesnt matter it totally does. but the pickups are overall the biggest influence over the sound of an amplified solid body guitar instrument. you dont have to be rich to change the pickups you just have to be passionate about your tone enough to pay the money.

@SixStringHarmonies 12 жыл бұрын

with a hard wood like Pine. But all those Broadcasters and Nocasters are Pine guitars. They defined several genres. There are gobs of builders who make completely bodyless guitars like MiniStar, for instance, on the low end of the budget. To some insane designs from Teuffel and other mad scientists. The better equipped they are, the better they sound. They have all the sustain and resonance as any other handmade. The fact that there is no body material does not factor to the sound in the amp.

@SixStringHarmonies 12 жыл бұрын

....I think most the guys I've worked with would tell you they thought Maple tops and veneers actually drain sustain from the guitar. The biggest reason an LP can go on for what is seemingly an eternity ;) is it's 13 degree headstock angle which combines with the fixed bridge to equate to a guitar design that sings. The strings have nothing to do but vibrate. S-style guitars with lower head angles use string trees to try and achieve this effect. The trees, however, hinder tuning stability.

you're totally wrong, the wood resonates at a certain frequency giving the density, and the string too, so depending on the wood some frequencies will cancel or ad themselves, plus the higher the mass, the less the material will absorb the string's vibration which will be almost entirely returned to the strings

What's people problems with EMG's? The 81/60 combo is very versatile.. It is indeed very uncommon on a Fender Strat, but he plays rock and metal songs and the S/S/S or H/S/S combo is probably not the best combo for that type of music. EMG deserves much more recognition, people just think it's trash..
