The science of it all

Have you ever read comments like these? 

​

  • Maple necks sound snappier than mahogany necks.

  • Nitro breathes.

  • Bone nuts are better sounding than plastic?

  • The 70s produced the crappiest guitars EVER.

  • Old acoustic guitars sound better than new ones?

  • Plywood cabinets sound tighter than pine?

  • And tons more.

  • ​

Have you ever wondered where those opinions originated, and more importantly... are they true?  And how many do YOU subscribe to?

​

The truth of the matter is irrelevant.  Whether these hearsays are true or not seems only to affect buying decisions people make when considering a new guitar or gear acquisition for the resale (because nobody keeps a guitar forever... right?).  People make buying decisions based on these popular beliefs because they know that they're selling points should they ever decide to sell said guitar/gear.  

​

Subjectivity aside, I would like to prove or disprove several of the myths floating in our world of guitars, amps, pedals, and gear.
