My money's on it not being very scientific
Just play the guitar and stop bothering with shit like this.
How the hell did we manage?
But as far as actually providing reliable evidence for anything it's literally equal to zero.
If there's anyone who sincerely and open-mindedly wants to find evidence but just doesn't get why this isn't it, I'm sure there are many short books, or even free websites, that will explain "101" level scientific testing.
That's why I say to anyone who genuinely wants to know why for their own benefit that they'd only have to learn the basics about the topic to know what makes this video poor evidence as well as generally improve their understanding of many other things for the rest of their life.
But what concretely should he have done differently to make it more “scientific”? I know there is obvious stuff, like there should have been more instruments (though realistically who has more than a couple of CS Les Pauls available to them) , the test should have been blind (at least the playback of the audio) and we only have his word as to the setup of the instruments. And then there is stuff like how even though he used the same brand of strings on both guitars they were not the exact same strings (we have no idea as to the level of uniformity between 2 sets of strings of the same brand) and the fact that there is human actually playing the guitar, hitting the strings a bit differently every time.
If you think otherwise then you probably haven’t played enough guitars to tell.

I don't even want to believe someone would go to that much effort just to be a prick.
Nice patronising!!!
Now let's get onto the most pressing question of the day....
Is the earth flat?
