2. i mean on a solid body it makes no real difference... on an acoustic it does, no pickups in involved...
well of course it makes a difference on normal acoustics unamplified.. that goes without saying..

no comments about #3 though?

i agree on the DM3MD, he brought those up. he was saying that since what im gonna do to an epi chet is not making it a good guitar, and then saying that a martin with daves sig is shit if it dont have daves sig... well thats bullshit, what im gonna do to an epi chet, makes it better than a gibson, except gibson uses better wood, its a solid bodied guitar, it really doesnt matter.

but with a purely acoustic instrument wood makes allot of difference.

so if the Gibson Chet were made out or particle board, it wouldn't make a difference?

i'm sure if you put the same pickup in an epi and a gibson, there would still be a big difference.

Um, hate to burst the bubble, but the wood definatley makes a difference.

1- I don't care what pickup you have in there, the vibration that it picks up is from the WOOD. If the wood is crap, it won't sound the same, no matter how good your pickup is (unless you have a digital one or if it's a Line 6, but we are talking about Chets here). The pickup is picking up the wood vibration. The only time when the wood doesn't matter is when it's a sound hole pickup, but then for sustain and tones of other stuff it does. I have played an Epi chet and a Gibson chet. There was a difference (and these were both just standard, right from gibson and epiphone to Good 'N Loud). The Gibson had much more of an acoustic sound, and also you could feel the better vibration on the wood when you are playing it. If it's solid top, it will vibrate a different way than if it is laminate.

Then, for quality and life span, solid wood will last longer and stay together better.


Wood DOES matter.

so why do you think higher quality wood makes the cost rise? could it be because it creates a higher quality sound?


listen to Ranting, he knows what he's talking about.
