The difference is amplified by gain - the cleaner, the less the difference. The mahogany was much warmer for sure, and to be able to hear the difference we heard over this video suggests that the difference is actually quite substantial. By the way, I’ve never seen your videos before, and this video was excellent. You do the great job and rang the bell. Hopefully you’re still making content. glad to have found you.

Your sincerity and transparency in these tonewood tests really goes a long way. Thanks for having such a great attitude and approach for this! I thought I MIGHT be able to hear a difference, but it was so slight I know I'll never stress over neck/fretboard tone again. The body woods made a much bigger difference than I expected, so I was surprised that I couldnt really hear much of a difference here, not enough to prove it isnt just confirmation bias anyway. You'll hear a difference if you expect one. I imagine if none of us expected differences, we wouldnt have noticed at all. The body wood test I think you would have some people notice it right away. It's definitely there, even if it's not pronounceed.

I feel like I heard a significant difference between the three... Regardless off the pick-up position or drive/overdrive and reverb setting... I feel like: Maple/maple: Significantly brighter than either the maple/rosewood or mahogany/rosewood. Maple/rosewood: Full but with bright tones. (This was surprisingly my favorite) Mahogany/rosewood: A little "fatter" thank the maple/rosewood, but very close to the maple/rosewood... I had to hear a few different samples to feel the difference, but it also lost the brightness of the maple entirely... Like I said, I liked the maple/rosewood the best, and I really could tell a difference. Thanks for this tho... I enjoyed the video.

This is where I notice the difference in fretboard and neck wood the most. Popping the string, as well as regular picking, in different registers of the neck also will bring out more of the subtle differences between them. Awesome job. Thx 👍

Thanks for doing these!! Great to have as close to an apples-to-apples test as there can be. My 2 cents on hearing these, I agree that the differences were very subtle. So much so that it wasn't until the distorted samples that they could really be heard or felt. For me the maple / maple was the brightest (again, only by a touch) with a little more top end compared to the other two. The rosewood / mahogany had a weightier feeling to it, especially on that last distorted sample (it had a little something something going on with the way things resonated that made it feel a little more special, for a lack of a more precise way to describe it). Great vid!! :)

Finally, the neck test is here! :) Thank you! I relate to your conclusion. The slighter differences between rosewood and maple might also come from the fact that their responses are closer in spectrum than between mahogany and the two. I can hear a huge difference between the the mahogany neck and maple, particularly in test 7. Mahogany makes the sound louder and more bassy. Moreso than I could hear in the body test... The difference between maple and rosewood is subtle, but it matches my experience of a feeling I could not put my finger on, of a different timbre between the Ibanez (rosewood fingerboard) and Fender (full maple) guitars I tried: the former are a bit more airy and somewhat "buzzy" in the top-end, while the latter are more snappy and "rounded".

Thanks for doing these excellent videos. You are confirming what I have known for decades. The maple/maple neck sounded brighter, glassier and has a kind of raw edge to it. I had a beautiful 62 strat with a rosewood/maple neck but I found myself wanting that harder edgier maple/maple sound. I had the same reaction to the body woods video. The swamp ash body was my favourite and the difference in sound was obvious. I had a swamp ash tele at one time and the sound was just incredible. The way you did these videos using the same body and switching only the part we’re interested in, plus the quality of your playing and the immediacy of the comparisons really brought out what I knew to be true. Thanks again.

Hey Aaron. I had several necks from you guys. My favorite is mahogany/rosewood: just as you noticed, more low mids. Plus if you strike a chord with a lot of harmonics (a G for instance) and let it ring, the notes will last longer with the mahogany shaft. The essential difference between maple/maple and maple rosewood is a rounder tone on the bass strings for the rosewood. I notice also a better attack against a bit more spank for the maple. Ever so slightly... Keep on pickin' ! PS: your warhead is just a great shape ! I wish there was more choice in the showcase (only one roundback 59 in maple/maple...) Cheers !

My monitor chain: Mini Mac - thunderbolt - Apollo 16- with Antelope LIVE clock set to 192khz - AES to - Dangerous Music SOURCE Monitor Controller and Dynaudio monitors. Can I hear a difference? Sorry Aaron, but Hell yeah I can!!! M/M has attack. M/RW is smooth and warm. I was surprised with the M/RW. The chime of the Mahogany sparkled on top of the smooth RW. and of coarse added some meat on the low end. Think of a bump of 80hz, 800hz and 12khz. Side note: the last thing I got for my monitor chain was the clock. It added depth and clarity to the low end, which I did not expect, and added a little more space around each instrument, thus adding definition. Drum reverb was most notable. These are great comparisons. I hope you guys do a Fret board comparison - M/RW/E

Great test! I clearly heard the differences, they were ordered from bright to brooding. The maple neck with the rosewood fingerboard was the Swiss Army knife of all of the samples, but the mahogany rosewood was the best for the open chords and a certain niche of rhythm playing and likely muddy blues (to preference). All-maple’s brightness and cut-through is clearly desired for certain styles of funk and lead, and arguably certain styles of rock chord progression, and likely jazz styles (to taste and preference). Which sends the most energy to the body and is better for sustain was not conclusive. My best guess is all-maple does. My overall pick would be the maple rosewood.

Surprising. Way more subtle than the body wood test, agree. On electrics, tone wood isn’t such big deal. I think if you are a straight-into-the-amp person, play a old school, hifi style amp, and are “obsessed” with tone these subtle differences may count? Otherwise, the specific kind of guitar, and pickups matter way more. As always, dissecting or chasing tone is only useful for creating tone...playing! The magic is how it all comes together under your fingers. Weight, feel, look, price are probably the most important factors for choosing the wood.
