Re: What if fretboard wood doesn't matter?
First I never said that it was 41% of the total material. If you'll re-read you'll see that I stated that it was 41% of the fret positions and I've already stated my position on the 5% thing. In all honesty I'm sure you'll admit that you guys would also argue that thin poly vs. thick poly vs. lacquered bodies (which is measured in microns) sound different as well. So it makes no sense to me to argue that thin vs. thick plastic doesn't make a difference.
Aside from that I think lightening the mood is a very good idea. The bottom line is that due to the nature of this topic the only people who might benefit from it are the occasional newbs who drop by uninitiated and with and open mind. Unfortunately what they usually come across is an out and out "P" contest. Suffice it to say that you and I are past redemption. You believe what you believe and I do the same. For us the best thing is to just state our observations and leave it at that.
