The Watering Hole

It seems the collapse of a myth..


Reading this document (http://www.lwbguitars.net/Music/guitar_wood.pdf )  seems that woods are not affecting the sounds the PU's capture from the strings vibrations....

All started because of this guitar..and the 0% of wood used in it..

How could we stop to debate about mahogany, alder, ash ? Aaarrgghhh....

What's next?  An amp without tubes??!  :-? :D

Um no.  The wave forms ARE different.  Thus the sound IS different.  I think a better argument might be made on the ability of a person to hear the difference within the spectrum of sound.  What would have been far more interesting is if he had repeated that process on several tone woods instead of just two.  

Woods do have a tonal effect on solid bodies although it is not that huge of a difference. I know this by playing for 45 years.

Man, those waveform plots are fucked.  Obviously not designed by anyone who understands audio... they are linear instead of logarithmic.  So basically you get a really fine look at the high treble, and not much of a look at the frequencies that make up most of a guitar's tone.  I was going to say it looked like Alder had more mids, but then I realized that I was looking at 8k--I don't think 8k even makes it through a guitar speaker...
