this guy connects strings to two benches without a body and it sounds the same as his tele proving it must be just the pickups that make the sound of electric guitars.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n02tImce3AE

This is one of the best comparisons I've seen.
I've long wondered about the real effect of the neck, body, material, etc.

Good catch!

The difference between the two is quite audible. This is good proof that the rest of the guitar has some effect as well.

I've long been a skeptic of the idea that wood is a major contributor to solid body electric instrument tone. Not that the various structural and mechanical elements of the instrument have no effect, but what happens from string to speaker has much more impact on what reaches our ears.

His mistake is that he should have used Harley engines. Would have made all the difference.....
