		fsociety on March 18, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole There is a lot to a guitar. Players can be particular about the type of wood used on their fretboard, if the frets are slanted or not, if there are frets, floating bridge vs fixed bridge, locked tuners, intonation, weight, feel, electronics etc. The guitar doesn’t make the guitarist but when it is a labor of love some do really care about these things.

Neck wood seems to have almost no impact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n02tImce3AE

Most tone there was found to be in pickup height adjustment.

I'm firmly in the "tone wood doesn't matter" camp. I choose body and neck wood based on looks (if clear finish) and weight.
