Tested: Where Does The Tone Come From In An Electric Guitar?
Jim Lill
Guitarist Jim Lill methodically tests what in an electric guitar affects its tone, swapping parts on a partscaster and even trying a 2x4 body. He finds that wood and construction matter far less than people assume.
Cited as a fun, experimental debunking of tonewood claims that shows electronics dominate electric guitar sound.
