Bet there’ll still be people complaining about dead spots.
Even with a good mirror finish book match?

My ideal guitar would have no wood in it at all.
Hahaha well then they’ll be complaining they got a plain top with no figuring.Even with a good mirror finish book match?
Past a certain age we all wouldn’t be able to get any anyway.....well at least not au natural .........ok I speak only for myselfThen I wouldn’t be able to get any either.

Sure it's romantic to wax lyrical about old tone wood but
guitar materials have less importance than the marketing departments try to convince you of.
Back during the old Tone Wood Wars, these videos were made attempting to convince one side or the other.
One of the things I find surprising, pro players who support environmentalism and global warming initiatives choose to get their MIA guitar lumber from fragile rain forest ecosystems rather than Grown In American forests. It would be nice if PRS started marketing heavily with local sustainable lumber. Buyers need to demand it and the whole discussion on tone wood comes down to, even if you 'can hear a difference', can they or you play 'just a little bit better' and make a better wood choice? Two million new guitars are made every year and that is an impact.
Another proof, as if it was still necessary, is that swapping PU's between different Guitars all sound 'different' even if the Strings, the scale length, the bridge and nut are all the same. If 'woods' had NO impact at all, then EVERY guitar that is built to the same specs, with the same strings, nut, bridge and PU would ALL sound exactly the same. If its 'just the Strings and PU's, even the bridge and nut as that is the points that 'matter' as these are the point of contact for the strings to 'vibrate' between, then EVERY wood Guitar, regardless of the type of woods, its shape, its thickness and density, the neck material - maybe even the fretboard as that isn't in contact with the string before the fret which is wgere the 'end' of the string when fretted - and maybe even the Fret wire too although I would conceded that, because it is the point of contact that may affect its vibration and thus may have some impact.
RUST!How would you have a "relic'd" or "road worn" model?
Is this why old guys sometimes get grumpy? Boy, that sure does make it easier to understand!Past a certain age we all wouldn’t be able to get any anyway.....well at least not au natural .........ok I speak only for myself
Picy no worky on ipad or PC."Just got back from a trip to Stevensville and, well, f@c&in' A!!! Due in...however long it takes to print one a them f@c$er$?"
Oh the humanity!It’s a tin top.
I have a friend who had one for a while years ago, that I got to play with. It actually sounded pretty good, but was not exactly ergonomic. His had a bare skeleton neck, though later on they added plastic inserts to give them a more conventional feel.'the first stainless steel neck'?
nonsense. There is the Gittler.
Can't wait to see the sweaty forearm groove cut through all those jawbreakers, man. CUSTOM!And there’s this.
That pickup is too white.
