Rick said:I agree. But I always go with the most comfortable feeling, currently it's between the 59 and the Wolfgang, leaning towards wolfgang.

I bought a Gibson Midtown last year, which has Gibson's asymmetrical neck profile. This was my first experience with this type of neck profile. I LOVE it.
When I finally decided to start my Warmoth Tele build, I targeted a Wolfgang neck profile. Was very fortunate to find one in a Tele roasted maple configuration. While I'm still in the process of putting the guitar together, I'm really liking the neck. After dinking around with this profile now, I wouldn't want the wider shoulder of the 59 on the "finger" side.
Rgand said:There are still a lot of variables to work through yet. I hope that when Aaron has compared as many variables as possible that they'll build and compare two guitars, one with all the options that make it warm and one with all that make it bright. That could make a usable difference when one puts together a guitar. Those variables could really add up.
The Aaron said:Based on what I've done so far, I would say there is no smoking gun. Everything matters a just little, and a guitar's sound is the cumulative result of all those little things.
I had more in mind building them from what the various videos have shown. Type of body wood, neck woods, fret material, you name it. The brightest and the warmest all assembled in a bright and a warm guitar based on what results have proven.The Aaron said:The test you're suggesting exists already: Strat vs LP....and they certainly do sound very different. I guess you could say I'm working backwards from that, and poking around to see if I can figure out which individual things make the biggest differences, and which don't matter much at all.
