It does matter though.. you can tell that a strat is a strat whether it has humbuckers or single coils, and you can tell that a les Paul is a les Paul with any pickups too. The body of a guitar does resonate; you can feel it vibrating against your body. Whereas as long as they’re new, clean strings I can’t hear much difference between brands. Clean vs dirty strings makes a huge difference though.
- TylerE 5y agoOf course, you can make something rather NOT like a Strat that sounds like a Strat, too. I've got a guitar that is pretty unlike a Strat headless, neckthrough, full floating trem with a wide range...and it sounds pretty straty. Of course, I specced it with single coils, a maple neck, an alder body.
- fallingfrog 5y agoThe type of wood the guitar is made of seems to make a big difference, from what I can tell. The shape, less so. I’m on the fence about bolt on vs set necks.
- jolux 5y agoHow much of what makes a Strat sound like a Strat and a Les like a Les is the wood of the body vs the scale length and the bridge pieces though?
