QUOTE(Glenn)Actually body shape has almost nothing to do with tone. Ever think that every one emulates those shapes because no one can come up with any better shapes?
The source of tone
The design, shape, and construction techniques of the guitar, including the length, thickness, and surface curvature of the neck, the type of frets, and whether the body is solid, hollow, or semi-hollow.
The kinds of woods (or other materials) it's made out of, and how the various components are attached to one another.
But i will admit that. .
Factors that affect a guitar body's tonal qualities include the type of wood, the construction (whether layered or one-piece, hollow or solid-body), shape and size, and more. However, a solid-body electric guitar's shape is mostly aesthetic rather than functional.
It does have SOMETHING to do with tone.

Yes things like width, thickness, etc have to do with the wood. But unless you're talking about small down to the detail tonal differences, shape hardly has anything to do with your overall tone.

I agree.....Playing a jackson or a paul with the same pickups wouldn't be much of a difference...
You can;t really say the body makes the tone fatter on a les paul because the pots are 500k....making fatter sounds...versus a jackson with 250kohm pots....your going to have more presence and attack on your jackson than the paul because of a lower kohm resistance....more signal hits and it seems hotter.
Which is the reasonm emg's are 25kohm audio taper...
Very tinny sounding
Your pickups and pot k's are about the only thing your tone is going to benefit from

We covered this already. Twine is just an idiot who comes here and posts his opinions about guitars even though he doesn't even play guitar.
