b'Another Guitar Experiment I am sure that the wood choice for the back and sides is part of the guitars tone. My view is that it is a small part, but that small part is very important. When we get to this level of instrument, its the small parts that make the difference, just like in wine tasting and Hi Fi.My objective this time is to reassure myself, and Alex and Paul, that we are speaking truthfully when we talk about tone and to gain some better way of discussing it with customers.Part of that will be to get experienced opinion, particularly from players who have very fine ears, in the same way that whisky or chocolate tasters have a very discerning palate. Then, when we are ready, we might try and tell you about it. 250'
