I think the biggest tone difference in those two guitars comes from the tonal resonance difference in the pigmentation of the sticker that holds the little spring in the hole of the tremolo block.

@chrishenderson9130 7 лет назад

Francois Maurion i prefer no spring sticker for increased sustain...

@gerryjamesedwards1227 6 лет назад

I think the lack of pearly half-tones and blonde tonality in the one KHz and up range is probably because makers probably forgot to use unicorn tears, or the even more exclusive Aging Rocker Vodka Flop-Sweat, to polish the reciprocating giggle pins, so the more crapulent tones are getting swamped by fruity bean-curd harmonics.

@chrisofnottingham 7 лет назад

When you are worrying about possible differences in sounds, unless it is immediately obvious then there is effectively no difference. Even if you can tell a tiny weeney difference when doing an A B test, the fact is that when you play actual music it is not an A B test. You just hear the current sound, and if that sounds fine then that is all that matters. Really, the most useful aspect of A B testing is indeed blind testing to expose hidden bias and preference.

They didn't market Pau Ferro like they should have: it is actually a big upgrade on the cheap rosewood they were using on MIM Fenders, for example. It is harder and denser and needs less maintenance (lemon oil etc) to keep in top condition, plus you can cross borders with it and are helping protect endangered species of wild flora and fauna.

@shredgd5 7 лет назад

Sometimes tone differences like this are due to different measured pot values: I have a Strat with a 210k reading volume pot which sounds soooo sweeter than a 250k with same pickups. You can really fine-tune your instrument by changing pot values (you can lower their values with big parallel resistors, 2.2M, 3.3M or even 5.1M; to increase value and add brightness you have to buy another pot and hope it measures more kohms)

@ffakr 2 года назад

I'm not an electrical engineer but I dabble. Not sure your parallel resistors would do what you claim. A parallel resistor wouldn't lower their (your pots) values.. not far as I understand things. Resistors (particularly resistor-capacitor networks) filter frequencies.. which is why different value Pots color your tone differently.. and why tone circuits are literally a Pot (variable resistor) with a Cap attached. In a parallel circut.. your pot would filter frequences one way.. and the parallel branch of the circuit would filter frequencies differently.. and, because they're parallel.. those signals would be recombined at the end of the branch. Seems to me.. if you wanted a 250k pot to sound more like a 210k pot.. you wouldn't wire in a parallel circuit with a 2.2M, 3.3M or 5.1M resistor.. you'd maybe wire in a parallel circuit with a 210K resistor... right?

@shredgd5 2 года назад

@@ffakr no, you’re wrong. If your volume pot measures 500k and you parallel it with a 500k resistor, your pickup will “see” a 250k resistance path to ground. Suhr HSS guitars use this trick to make the humbucker see 500k and the single coils see 500k.

@ffakr 2 года назад

@@shredgd5 Yes, you're right.. the formula for resistors in parallel is 1/R(total)=1/R(1) + 1/R(2) + etc. Two 500s in parallel turned to full would have a resesistance of 2/500 = 1/R(total).. R=250. A 250 Ohm pot with a parallel 2.2M resistor should have a max resistance of 224.5 Ohm. I'd delete my orig. incorrect reply but I don't want to leave the above correction dangling.

@soundchex8907 6 лет назад

14:08 What it is, IMO, is Pete’s used to hearing a maple board. Pau Ferro is harder than rosewood and ebony, but less than maple. So you have a similar pop and snap of a maple board but not as much treble cut of rosewood. All subjective of course but could explain why.

@Paul_Lenard_Ewing 6 лет назад

Either you can hear the difference or you can not. I can. I was involved in the '70s in a lab in Britain where we tested tone woods both by ear ...by blindfold tests and with instruments to give us visual readouts of what we heard. The most fascinating thing if you take any solid wood body and cut it down so the body size is virtually a plank that has about 3 inches of wood from the centre of the strings the tone is unchanged no matter what wood or woods you use. So you could have a true Les Paul tone out of a plank with a half inch piece of maple over three quarter piece of mahogany base.

@davidburke2132 6 лет назад

Simon Smith But this isn’t a question about availability. He’ll still run into problems of exporting his products irrespective of when he bought the rosewood and how much stock he has. He will most likely have to go through a “pre convention” certification process for the woods he already has, which will be simpler than the “full” certification requirements but not nil. Paul is a smart man... I’m sure there have been some changes to PRS processes but Paul’s not gonna come out in public expressing a sense of difficulty and problems with his company/brand/market... that’s not the kind of guy he is.

But whatever, all about the feel for me.

I have guitars with all 4 fretboards, Rosewood, Pau Ferro, Ebony, Maple. I can't say as I really hear much of a difference, from a tonal standpoint. It's the feel of a fretboard that gets my attention. If it's buttery smooth, I'm in. A great player sounds great on a mediocre guitar, whereas a mediocre player sounds mediocre on a great guitar, it really is in the hands. I resently purchased an American Elite Stratocaster with a maple fretboard. It was an instant hit for me, it's the overall feel of the guitar. The electronics are a bit overkill, way too many unnecessary tone selections, but the overall feel of the guitar is amazing. Neck contour makes a huge difference as well, if it fits your hand perfectly, you can't put it down. In Rosewood fretboards, I prefer compressed Rosewood, it just feels smoother.

This is the best answer for all guitar videos ever made.

Having tried some and listened to many, I think they are pretty close (if not almost identical) as for the sound, look and feeling too. That's obviously just my personal opinion.

I could immediately tell the difference - but ONLY because these guitars are Lake Placid blue, and that I also own a Lake Placid blue stratocaster. The body colour makes a MASSIVE difference to the sound and completely changes many other aspects of the guitar too.
