In an earlier discussion I stated a fact. A solid body guitars finish doesnt
affect its sound. Squier made some good points concerning the strings
vibrations and what the pickups see. I believe everything he said to be
pretty much dead on. Jim came back with how the pickups interact with the
guitars body and has a hand in shaping its sound Also true. Though I said
the finish makes no difference ...I didnt say that aguitarbodies resonence
didnt affect tone. The wood does but not the type.Wood types dont have
flavors. You cant say that mahogany sounds like choclate because that piece
doesnt but this piece sure as hell does. Theres times when a piece of walnut
will sound exactly like a piece of alder.

Next point is about resonence. If you own any solid body
PRS,Rick,Gibson,Fender,Ibanez,BC Rich or any other then you own a piece of
***. Thats not how you build a good electricguitar. What it is...is the
cheapest way to build an electricguitar. I dont care if its $50 or $20,000.
They're overweight lifeless turds. If you want the bestguitaryou've ever
played then buy a cheap Squier ( or any other cheapguitarwith the shape
you want) and hollow the son of a bitch out. Re top it with some pretty
1/4" wood and you've suddenly got a one of a kind customguitar. When I say
hollow it out I dont mean no chicken*** chambers or f------g middle strip.
I mean hollow. If anybody wants particulars then let me know. I dont type
for fun so unless you're serious about it dont even bother me with bull
***. I've already explained it to some ball less dullards and aint into
doing it again just for shits and grins. It will blow any solid body away
and I'll guarantee it.

Why on earth would anyone waste their time rebutting this obvious
moron's cretinous blatherings?


because he's not a moron. you are. I certainly don't agree with Keith
on a lot of things. But he's not a moron. Far from it.
Even when you think he's wrong - he can make you think about
how and why you think about what you think is right.

Besides - if there was a chance to play a hollowed out Telecaster that
only weighed a few pounds and sounded great - why would you
want to play the usual 9 lb boat anchor tele. **

So you simply dismiss the issue as nonsense ?

Even if some of the things Keith says are not backed
up with some scientific data chart - who cares - from what
I understand he actually can build these things and they do
sound great. I have been reading this group and there are
people that have played and/or seen his guitars - so what have you done lately
besides writing your own one line cheap shot blitherings ?

I am not defending Keith - so don't call me some ass sucker -
but I will reply back to someone that can't offer anything to anyone
let alone any sort of intelligent comment. Why bother to even
write your lame ass reply -- so you can see your little one line
drivel post on usenet ? You certainly had no problem wasting
your time to write a reply to the post telling others to not waste time ?
Lamer. you're a true lamer.

Ya know - I'm getting the hang of this usenet stuff slowly but surely.
I think i'll get a good thick skin after time.
It's kinda like a rumble except you can't actually feel the punches.
