What, are you saying people with sensitive hearing have big dicks or are better looking than the cloth-eared?
You're being wilfully patronising, although I expect nothing else from you.
If it's boring or you find the points too fixed just don't comment anymore? Like others I'm interested in the science to a point but I'm far more interested in the music and, like life in general, find science a helpful aid but rarely the complete answer.
the most reverend and preachy thebreeze.
I think some of those are worthy of discussion. Body shape, pickup positioning and the affect of the human playing the bloody thing.
i know humidity and temperature make a difference, most obviously when linked to optimal setup and how that can be compromised by fluctuations in the environment.
Yes. We should all get out a bit more.
I know I used to be able to identify the common guitar styles by sound alone, and I would get it right 4 out of 5 times. The party trick of my 20's
My success rate is lower now I am older.

Still, we all live in the post-modern, post-truth age where - supposedly - there is no such thing as objectivity or truth and everyone can create their own realities. As such I have to accept that a belief in 'tone wood' is perfectly in tune with the times we live in, whilst I am still stuck back in the Enlightenment.
You are a sensible chap and I'd happily engage in a discussion on any of these topics with you..
Others however...
IS THAT YOU?

To paraphrase you: "I will consider any position that I already agree with. I know I'm right and I want the rest of you to admit it"
You sir, are boring me.
I'm out.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youAnyhow, back to the topic. If people can (genuinely) hear variances in timbre due to the varying location of the nodes in relation to the pickups, how is this variance experienced?
Tell you what. Let's give it a go and see if we get derailed..
I have two observations:
- Since playing bass more I have noticed that my ear has become more accustomed to distinguishing between the fundamental and harmonics
- Do people with perfect pitch notice the harmonics in an instruments tone more acutely?
The studies have not been done with regards to specific guitars, mainly because the variables are too varied to make running the experiment quantifiable, that and nobody gives a shit because there is no money in it.
discussing entropy, energy states and chaos theory in relation to a guitar is bonkers. A guitar isn't a CCD.
you know nothing about my background and yet you allude to the fact that you are fighting the cause for science and I am somehow one of the uneducated believers in myth.trist me you are very wrong here.
lets hear a little of your background so that we can understand what makes you so educated in this field of guitar physics.

If so, it's not working.
If you think all the papers I have cited are 'pseudoscience' why not write to the authors telling them why they are wrong? Even better why not get some papers published yourself showing how 'tone wood' is real? I look forward to reading them.
