Well, , , check my previous comment. You can get so hung up fx by owning a high-end guitar, it imprisons you in awe and over-careful behavior.

My guitars range in price from a $325.00 ES-335 knock-off to a $4,000.00 Martin, but I play them all the same way. My only over-careful behaviour is to never smash any of them over an amplifier at the end of a song. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Because destroying instruments doesn't make a song better, and my meager musical skills would not be masked by doing so. Besides, it really is a stupid and classless move.

fortyearspickn Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I can't really comment on my preferred B/S tone wood - because I don't have enough specific experience. (Obviously, I'm commenting anyway.) I think you would have to have three guitars - representative models like the J45 - with the 3 different tone woods, strung with the same brand of strings. THEN, you would have find someone with 'normal' hearing, and a player who can play a half dozen representative snippets identically. Without a reasonable attempt to use 'the scientific method', all a peson can do is decide which guitar of several they own and play regularly - sounds best to them - and then assume it is based on the tone wood. So, I know which of mine sounds best, clearly. But it would be presumptuous to recommend the tone wood and NOT disclose it could be due to the body shape, bracing, age, strings, etc. Maple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never heard it used with either sex, and linking it to smashing guitars is kinda awkward… Really, one could say most musicians have an over-developed sense of entitlement since we usually believe everyone wants to hear our noise.

Em7 - another term we use here to suggest the other person or persons melt at the mere thought of a heated discussion. Merriam-Webster is constantly challenged by the new words and new definitions of existing words too. So - it is understandable some here don't appreciate the nuances. I'm sure every country has their own words to describe the same things: Putz comes to mind. Cheeky Monkey... Even the term 'wood' has a double meaning.

Larsongs Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Back to the Thread…… After further research I’m finding that the 3 Bigs Gibson, Martin & Guild most expensive Guitars are Rosewood & Spruce.. Gibson Pre-War J-200, Martin D-45 & Guild D-55E.. They say it’s because Rosewood allows a scooped Mid Range which is considered ideal for Guitarist’s who Sing… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
