quality of tone question.

[Santa]

hey guys.. just need to find out.. does a change in the body make the most change in sound?

like changing from a cheap body to a higher quality body assuming all the other parts are the same..

and this is also assuming u play the guitars through a good amp, have good pickups and a guitar neck.

Yes.

a more costly body is usually of a superior grade (eg: Ibanez RG vs Joe Satriani signature model- both basswood) hence a more likeable tone.

okay great...

so the neck quality also a big difference?

thanks for the prompt replies all.

BTW, artec pedals back in stock at gc

diffirence in wood grade for the same type (neck included), would make a tonal difference. its manifestation through the amp remains subjective (especially if your set-up includes loads of pedals & such...).

all the best tone wood with bad 'set up' gives poo tone .....!
and gives good business to guitar parts people :twisted:

 

[ShredCow]

Good quality parts, put together well = great sounding stuff.

Simple as that.

Yep.. Quality of the neck wood and fingerboard wood.. When you fret notes, you're contacting the fingerboard as well as the frets..
