guitar parts affecting sound and stuff

[Scotty477]

So im a noob at this kind of thing. I was wondering how the different woods guitar parts are made from effect sound like brightness, sustain, etc. Also things like bolt on, set neck, and thru neck effect it.

I found this article pretty good for explaining the properties of tonewoods and what effect they have.

i have this book that goes through some of the most common guitars and what exactly contributes to their sound, although i think i lent it out.

its usefull for learning the basics and is well written but take it all with a pinch of salt

Ultimately the Zebrano had a Brown sugar and a Riff raff in it whilst the Sapele one (which I still have) has a Boss and Mule pairing.

At the time of the review it had Duncans in as BKP weren't around like they are now.
