One thing I will say is that tone is largely phychological, and some people really don't have any idea what tone is. People say that any amp made by Fender or Marshall or Vox and has real tubes in it "sounds amazing", and while that usually is the case- it's not always. I made a guitar body out of yellow pine that somebody on my street was throwing out, and after putting on a neck, i ended up selling my epiphone les paul, because i preffered my home made guitars tone. I'm sure someone with more experience could find problems with it, but its deffinitley passable if not perfectly fine.
