Channel: Roger Lewis
Date: 12/01/2015

Does the type of wood make a difference?
This A B is a demonstration of the exact same guitar all electronics and hardware is identical the only difference is one set of samples it has a maple neck fitted the other a maple neck with Rose wood fretboard.

The Frequency metres are there as a visual guide to any differences you may hear.

´´If it could afford non-without a strand of provocation, this thesis could send the following message to the
guitarists: "Yes, the elements of guitar making have an influence on the sound, but prefer to try your instruments
before you buy! "

Thesis topic:'
GUITAR MAKING, THE ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLID BODY :
MECHANICAL ASPECTS AND PERCEPTIONS

I hope to interview Dr Pate on this channel this year when time allows. His thesis is fascinating and is very comprehensive. Having read the thesis I would only say that it has given me pause for much thought and made me very guuarded against generalisations. Effectively every piece of wood is unique and the variablse so manifold in all of the components of a single guitar that no two guitars are the same. Hence Arthurs advice, try before you buy if you really want to know what you´re going to get.
