lol all you talk about is brightness and warm sounding nothing about low end or any other shit

@FiveEightSevenEight the overtone content is created by the wood, the sustain is created by interplay between wood and non electronic mechanical elements, the feel will be created by the woodwork... no seriously... people who believe electronics are more important than wood should get their heads stuck in a garbage bin somewhere... because they obviously have no idea what the crap they are talking about... go play an instrument built by a master... then go play an upgraded squier... smelly yea..

@michael72986 I think you should've replied to the guy below your comment and not me...... instead you'd rather reply to someone who's still beginning to learn about different woods', pickups, etc...

@lovescarguitar Nope, it's going to sound like a Strat. The Strat tone comes from the pickups.
-
@PSXDooMERR Hey man, that is actually pretty out of wack. If that was the case, then I could put a nice pair of emg's and d'addario strings on a squire starter kit and it would sound like a les paul.
There are so many different things that go into the sound, pick style, attack, string type, string thickness, pickup types, pick magnets, pick up mounting, body style, body wood, electronics in guitar, cable type, amp type (preamp type), tube or digital, what kind of tube or electronics

basswood is the bomb! :)
-
no matter what guitar is used, only pickup type and string diameter affect the sound.

what about brazilian cherry (jatoba) what is its tone?

@lovescarguitar As I mentioned before, Strat single coil pickups & 250k pots in a Les Paul will sound thin & bright. It will no longer have that fat, warm signature Les Paul sound. Wood does contribute to the tone, but not nearly as much as the electronics.

Guitar Tone Capacitors, part 1: Evaluating Material Typesby johnplanetz51,235 views
With solid body electric guitars, the electronics contribute about 85% to the tone. That leaves 15% for everything else. Wood is WAY more important in acoustical instruments.

@TaylorMackAffair Learn science. And eat your heart out by searching google "SCRAP LUMBER BASS vs. ALDER BASS" It should be the first link to the talkbass forum.
