wood tone

Re: wood tone

I don't buy the idea of tonewood as body material for electric guitars. Fairly lightweight, durable, and visually pleasing guitar body is what I care about. Whatever wood it is. Whatever material it is. Your guitar sounds amazing. That's what matters. For neck and fretboard, I still want wood. I like the feel of it. And it's practically easier for me to change the fret or the fretboard itself when I want it.

Re: wood tone

I'd use a metal neck. I don't need to feel wood, although playing outside could make it heat up and hurt. I've used carbon fiber necks that were amazing.

Re: wood tone

Can someone explane me Wood tone?
Because I make them in steel
And.... watch this

Doesn't sound like a legitimate question, since it appears you are just stirring up controversy to sell your goods. So there's nothing to "explane."

Re: wood tone

I have always been of the opinion that a guitar can be made out of any material......as long as it has the strength to support string tension. Simply saying guitars have to be made from a small selection of woods (more often than not chosen for cost) is a silly as pretending that guitars are the only part of the universe exempt from the laws of physics (ie construction has no tonal influence)

What it sounds like will always be influenced by its construction.
'Wood' guitars always have other materials anyhow.......bone for nuts, metal for bridges/tailpieces/trems etc

So maybe a useful video would be (bad pun) your guitar vs say a stock Fender tele with similar pickups. Lets face it, playing an electric guitar requires a whole chain of elements and simply playing 1 guitar doesn't indicate perhaps the tweaking needed with eq if there are any odd frequency spikes.

give me your opinion and tell me the story about the wood tone

[neck is] maple, rosewood

Your guitars are very cool and sound great...but your question is not honest the way you are phrasing it. You are stirring the pot for the "tonewood debate" stating that you use metal not wood...when if fact you are using wood in your guitars.

Re: wood tone

the only wood inside is on the bridge part, that prevent that the back will bend by string tension, and the neck is also wood, i see this topic on different forums, i am not a good guitar player myself ore a sound geek
i can hear the different yes, and for me it sound clearer
for the vid. it is the only vid. i have that shows different styles of music
for me it is a serious question, so what is that about this tone wood, i guess it has something to do on how the wood grain is...
i am not a guitar player i just jam on my feelings and mostly it sounds like **** lol, it relax me, but i love building these things, i build them based on the feedback i get from guitar players, and what i pick up from forums
that´s why i ask this, so i can understand what this tone wood is all about, maybe i can do something with that information that´s all

Your guitars have wood on the bridge and the neck, which are very critical components of the guitar for the strings. So, your guitars actually have a lot of wood going into the equation.

As far as tone wood debates...those have been around a long time and won't be going away anytime soon. To sum it up for you, the argument is between people who don't think the wood used makes any difference in an electric guitar at all AND people think the wood used definitely makes a difference.

Most people fall somewhere between the two opinions...some could care less, some prefer other materials--as you have done by incorporating metal.

I wonder how those 3D printed ones are coming along.
