what if I told you that on solid body electric guitars
tonewood doesn't even matter
when electronics were introduced to guitars
they were putting microphonic pickups into a large
wide open chamber
this created feedback problems
and to negate those feedback problems
they took a chunk of wood and put the electronics in them
why less vibrations
less resonance
less feedback with modern pickups
your electric guitar tone is more about the ants you use
the pedals you use and the technique and how you play
it's less about the wood used in the instrument
and again about the electronics
I've worked for several large guitar companies
in research and developing and prototyping
and I've asked people of all levels from all these companies
why do they use certain woods
is it because of their tonal qualities
and every single time they've said
historically we've used these woods
and the perceived value from our customers is why we continue to use them
so I want to know
do you believe that your human ear can actually hear the difference
of each species of wood in each different electric guitar

This is my process for fretting a guitar neck
I first cut the frets to size and put them in a block
I'II take the guitar neck over to the fret press
and install each fret one by one
once they're installed I'II take a look down the neck
and make sure there are no gaps under any of the frets using my cutters
I'll clip off all the excess fret wire
next I'll file the edges smooth and then do a
35 degree bevel
so the frets look kind of like this
after that it's time to use the leveling beam
to make sure there are no high frets
now that the frets are level
I can take my crowning file and put an arch back into the fret
after all that l'm still not done yet
Save
I've got to corner the frets so they're not sharp
when playing the method I used to sand and buff up the frets
is something that I Learned from Roger
Sadowsky
when I worked at Sadowski Guitars
he made me fret for 9 months before moving me onto any other process
so I think I'm pretty good at it
thank you so much for watching and follow
if you want to see more
