That is awesome. I love the fact that it essentially destroys the idea of tonewood (or at least makes it largely irrelevant next to pickup choice and position).

It was posted into my 'guitar builders' whatsapp group a few days ago, with surprising lack of discussion - it's pretty cool. I've heard and nodded along to so much voodoo from builders in the past about woods, densities, grains, even types of glue and paint choices (acrylic vs nitro?).
I've always gone along with "pickups and strings, and possibly (but probably not) nut and bridge" - literally nothing else on the guitar can interfere with the movement of a metal string in an magnetic field.That said, the guitar I'm making right now is still made of rather expensive mahogany and AAA quitled maple...

Thought this was interesting, if you haven't seen it.
