Okay folks, try this for size: identical guitars, made by hand by the same luthier using the same pups, same amp and same player! Only difference? The wood! I find myself ........... educated.

I have. That appears to imply that, say, two gibson LP R0's with the exact same specs sound pretty much the same. Not my experience to be honest. Again, I am not saying that the wood does not make a difference, it does. I am saying that people tend to (ridiculously) overestimate their ability to recognize gear and related components through sound, specially when they post on online forums. The Stairway to heaven solo example speaks volumes.

The real test is to see which wood helps you pull more chicks. That's some real world testing action there!

I find myself ........... educated. it's not the wood, it's his knee. Note how he plays with his left knee on the concrete floor which acts to dampen the resonance of the guitar but at some point while he's playing the mahogany top, he lifts his left knee off the ground, thereby allowing the sound to breathe.... ok, i'm just messing ....
