now put formica over wood what happens ? or for example old MSA fomica over birch wood laminate cabinets did not have any highs or sustain the point is if you put formica over wood your going to loose some high end not gain it wood with glue on it with formica on top of that equal what ?

you answer your own question now
do the math to the equation
its a minus side not a plus

Rusty,I did the math and what I came up with is 3+2

Sooner or later someones going to try and be a self delared tone expert....But maybe he should build a reputation on achievents instead of declarations.

Hate to be a wet blanket and throw this back on topic...but here goes. I'm sure many of you remember how Jeff Newman would have a bunch of steels set up at his seminars. At some point he would make the point that most tone comes from the player, and to prove his point he would play all the different brand steels in front of him. To our newbie ears, they all sounded identical, which was his point. He didn't want us getting too hung up with equipment, and instead wanted us to concentrate on practicing.

I have nothing to add to this thread, so here is a rabbitt with a pancake on his head. Enjoy

I'm looking forward to the results, RR.

I'm sure you'll have access to a lot of great guitars, but I suggest you also include some low level beginner models.

It sounds like a cool project/experiment to me. There is always something to learn and any new perspective can help.

Theresa Galbraith · Post by **Theresa Galbraith** » 18 Nov 2010 8:31 am

All the guitars used for this experiment will be stock guitars or custom guitars?

It really sounds like to many are scared Rusty might prove something in this test and prove that many are wrong on their beliefs about tone. In my opinon, it would be best to sit back and let the test complete instead of pounding Rusty for his effort.

Joe Casey · Post by **Joe Casey** » 18 Nov 2010 10:21 am

I think there is a distinct difference between scared and suspicious...

Scott Shipley · Post by **Scott Shipley** » 18 Nov 2010 11:53 am

Suspicious, on many levels? Or maybe it's the up with people attitude exhibited by the poster?

So RR, is my steel invited as well? It ain't your standard set-up. I would think one would have to factor in the tester's comfort level on the different set-ups of the testees.
Er...um, nevermind.

Rusty Rhoads · Post by **Rusty Rhoads** » 18 Nov 2010 12:50 pm

this for stock double necks and stock single necks no custom or modified guitars so the test is fair and simple no punches pulled here stock everything involved here including my hands they have not been modified either so here we go if you have a guitar that you want in the test just contact me i will schedual you and your guitar for its day in the studio thanks rusty 615 524 8969

Disclaimer: This is not an implication just a prediction.

I predict that the Franklin PSGs are not going to fair very well.

Theresa Galbraith · Post by **Theresa Galbraith** » 18 Nov 2010 1:37 pm

Stuart,
Why? Due to them being custom made. I would venture to say, every guitar owned by someone has been modified in some way or another.

Stuart Legg · Post by **Stuart Legg** » 18 Nov 2010 1:55 pm

Theresa I think the Franklin PSG is a fine instrument and I would love to own one. As for modifications that has nothing to do with my prediction. I am just making a prediction not doing a interview.
If I were doing the test myself I could make a prediction that a Sho-Bud would win and an Emmons would come in last even though I'd love to own one..
