I just want to know everyone's opinion about these questions. Facts are welcome as well.

WOOD (Grain)

(1) Does the grain of wood used on guitar construction have an effect on tone?

(2) is there a difference in tone between tight grain and lose grain? if yes, are they subtle? are they noticeable?
what kinds of sound do they produce?

(3) which would you prefer (ie. which is better): a tighter grain or a loose grain?

FINISH (Nitrocellulose VS Polyurethane)

(1) Does finishing a guitar with nitrocellulose or polyurethane have an affect on guitar tone?

(2) Which is tonally superior? Nitrocellulose or Polyurethane?




"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
