bindernut Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 hey guys, just wondering if Size & shape matter to the sound? If so, how? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Yes, size and shape do matter. How? Well, erm, physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 size- scale length is the most obvious one, if the scale length is too long, then either 1. you get bigger gauge strings 2. your guitar wont have any sustain on the other hand if its too short, 1. get lighter bauge strings, 2. your notes will go really high and then slowly return to where they are supposed to be because of the fluctuation shape- i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Too many variables to determine any differences. And even if you could discern the differences they would be so subtle as to be almost unnoticeable. As mentioned its the nature of the materials used, ie. density, and homogeneity (sorry, can't seem to think of a more appropriate word) of the wood. When I'm asked if size matters I usually just say..."Well, I may not touch bottom but I'll sure bang the hell outa the sides!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
