My Beliefs on Guitar Tone

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

I think Jerry's fun.  Kind of like comic relief.

Any you don't feel guilty insulting him because they don't seem to sink in.  :toothy10:  Jerry, you're like a stress ball.

 

[jerryjg]

Oh, so now I'm a comedian. Okay.. I like that..
Heres one, what do you think?;

What a shame, They were so good with each other;

Well..at least they're together now;

 

[Mor Paul]

Well, I was hoping this would be a thread with a bit of thought involved..  :sad1:

And you're welcome for the STD Custom moniker  :icon_tongue:

 

[stubhead]

Yo mama.

 

[DangerousR6]

are we sure this jerry guy is as old as he/she claims? sounds like little teenage trash-talk to me. that call on the avatar is something that i'd hear from a 5th grader (10y.o.) at work.

wait, lets see if i can do it...

hey jerryjg, what does the "jg" stand for; "junk gobbler" perhaps?

schoolyard insults are fun.

That's funny right thar....."junk gobbler"..... :laughing11:

I was just waiting for someone to say "your mom" in this thread.  Awesome.

 

[nathan a]

I think you are all jerks. And stuff.

Your moms.

 

[rightintheface]

junk gobblers all

 

[jackthehack]

What a bunch of silly white boys, correct retort would be: "Yo Mama!!!".....

Folks, having been there/done that with putting different necks on the same body.... necks made of differente woods, or the same wood with different fretboard material, I can tell ya....

Ruling out the player.... and the amp (because the amp is half of the tone at least, and an instrument in itself)

#1 - its the pickups stupid
#2 - neck wood and contour.  I dont thing maple vs ebony vs rosewood vs goncalo vs pau ferro makes a difference on an otherwise very stiff neck - like maple.  On a mahogany neck or other neck with some wood less dense than maple, less stiff than maple, then there is probably some effect.
#3 - how you wire it
#4 - strings
#5 - everything else in a very distant last place.  Finish - nil effect on a solid body.  Bridge, almost nil, nut almost nil, fret material, just over almost nil.  Certainly there is more effect in tone with changing string type (ie pure nickle vs plated, vs stainless) than in fret material.

Thanks, CB. I'm hoping my tele will sound even better once I get a thicker neck on that thing

I agree with most..
I also want to add 'hollow/chambered vs. solid' . I just got reminded again how much of a difference it makes!!

 

[m4rk0]

forgot to say

yo mama is so hairy.......!

 

[-CB-]

oops, insert that as #3 and move the rest down.... you're right

#3 - how you wire it

What about the type of wire you use and style of caps?    Some say the old cloth type wire and certain cap types from the '50's have that certain "Mojo"..... :dontknow:

Tone is a modeling amp on the solid state Gorilla amp setting thru an emulated sh!tty speaker... played over your sh!tty pc speakers.

Now that's tone.

A friend of mine actually has one of those.... :doh:

Have a look, very good, pass by...
Be honest but not too modest.
Dress properly. Don't shake hands with the interviewer until he/she extends his/her hand.

That's strange.  Usually trolls start threads.

Hi. At last I've found someone I can relate to here. So, what kinds of music do you play?

 

[stubhead]

Max has one guitar and 3000 posts. I've never met his mama, though. :help:
