Great idea but my wife would see through that immediately.
I've seriously considered getting into this topic in a scientific way but it would be a difficult experiment to design because of all the variables. Think of how many sounds we can make by slightly altering the strength of attack, shifting the angle of a flat pick or by how close to the bridge we pluck. Then there are the overtones and sub-harmonics sounded on other strings. The trick would be to keep all variables but one consistent, then change that one, say string brand, and make it repeatable. I'm afraid it would entail using some robotic string plucker. This then would all get fed into an oscilloscope and analyzed. If I got into that there would be no time to make music!
I had a similar discussion on the Epiphone board when some of those folks claimed their brand new Asian built, mass produced Epiphones sounded as "good" as any vintage or hand built guitar out there including Gibsons, Martins or "boutique" one-off custom guitars. One guy even claimed that since he was a studio "engineer" he had a special ear to detect those nuances.
It is of note to consider what guys like Robert Benedetto, the highly acclaimed archtop builder says about high-end custom built guitars and their components. For instance when he builds an archtop he does so with a solid wooden bridge and solid wooden tailpiece similar to a violin. He claims that these components transmit sound and resonate "better" than their traditional metal/wood counterparts. The tops and backs of his guitars are each "tap tuned" by ear like the masters of old did to guitars and violins. His guitars go for $30K+. They also sound to my ear, REALLY good for the music they are designed to play.
That being said, I long for some accurate way to measure what is being discussed in this thread other than somebody claiming that their bridge saddles made from fossilized T-Rex teeth make a their music sound better. Man, there is no accounting for cool JuJu. B)
