Hey, you run into this kind of thing from time to time. I wouldn't suspect you, or anybody for that matter, of anything premeditatedly adversarial unless it slapped me in the face. Written words lack the tone of voice that communicates intention, so unless there's a written indication of some intention I usually try to dismss any connotations my mind may imagine. Guitar forums are ripe with strong willed opinions and that's just normal. Debates happen. Normally I try to stay out of the more volatile discussions because usually the truth is self evident enough that it needs no help from the likes of me but every once in a while some little bit of untruth that purports to be sound logic pops up and I stop biting my tongue because the younguns that gather here need at least one dissenting voice

No! Thanks for reminding me. How is it? From what I read, it sounds interesting.I have his first couple LPs ... and have always loved the Faces.

Listen, Im interested in wood, not your lack of it.....

Jay...another option occurred to me. How about norweigian wood Once had a girl whose bed frame was made from it. If it ultimately doesn't prove to be an acceptable tone wood, one could always light a fire with it.

My wife is Norweigian, and she always like that song too.......McCartney, isn't it???

I kind of like when we got sidetracked on Marmite and Vegimite; build threads; helping people build a guitar when they do not have one; and answering honest questions....that is what has always made this Forum a place I come back too. I do not like head trips or people provoking. I respect other folks opinions, even if their different than mind. When it is all said and done, we should be able to put a smile on our face and jam a few bars!

What we really need to do far more than anything else is to stop arguing about tonewoods because the part they play in a given player's tone is quite small. We need to convince everyone that it's the amp that makes the lion's share of your tone. More than wood, more than pups, more than neck joints, more than brand name and yes, more than hands, too.

Kinda partial to ash myself

Listened to Ron Wood's new CD yet

You dont remember me, do you?

You should start a build thread and show us what your doing with this nice body!!!

I love Ronnie Wood. IMO...he's the most underrated guitarist out there. Its funny, you know? Think about the Stones, having 4 guitarists over 50 years. Not a single one of them is "flashy" or even particularly fast or sophisticated. But, to me, they make some of the greatest noises EVER with their guitars.

You dont remember me..............

Hey guys!

Quick question.

Does ash or alder give better tone?

Thanks.
