Guitar Snobbery (lemmy.world)

Anyone else amused, and also repulsed by guitar player snobbery?

I'm talking vintage vs modern, poly vs nitro, laurel vs pau ferro vs rosewood, "tonewood," solid state vs tube, etc.?

It's absolute insanity on other forums, especially the "big" one.

What say you?

"Amused and repulsed" is exactly right. One of the things I love about Jim Lill is he cuts thru all that babble and just tries to figure it out himself. Agree with him or not, his "Tested: Where Does the Tone Come From" vids are good fun, and well done. https://www.youtube.com/@JimLill/videos

I love that guy! Especially the tacklebox 3 amps in 1 he built.
