Then again when you play all acoustic you don't have to worry about that as much.

You're all missing the point: it's not about tone, it's about volume. Pure, unadulterated volume.

Tone is what happens when you plug a Stratocaster into a decent Marshall.

There's some truth to that. What we incorrectly call tone is actually timbre. :shock: Tone is synonymous with pitch.

But then, Leo Fender mistakenly called vibrato tremolo, so whaddaya gonna do. 8)

And on some amps the other way around, too.

But then Leo didn't want us to use the "in between" sounds on our Strats, which is why they didn't fit the five-way switch till long after his day.

So what did he know...?
