I don't get why anyone buys those cheap quite/flame veneer top guitars that Schecter, ESP, etc put out. Can they not see how flat the grain looks? Then again, I hate exotic tops in general, and I don't get why people would waste that wood on a guitar when it would make excellent furniture.

I don't get why companies like Fender and Gibson can't make $500 guitars in the USA. Seagul makes cheap acoustic guitars in Canada! And I think Godin (Seagul's parent company) are all made in Canada. It really seems like an American company could do it too.

I don't get why anyone would want a 1 pickup w/ volume guitar. I get simplicity, but there are -so- many sounds you're missing out on. A couple of pickups and a few switches, and you could get most sounds out of 1 guitar.

I don't get why there don't seem to be any semi-scientific experiments on the effects of body/neck wood on the sound of an electric guitar. I just don't buy the whole "resonating certain frequencies" thing. I think some woods just absorb more vibrations, and the higher frequencies are the first to go.

I don't understand why I'm done lusting after rig enhancers.

I completely agree with these three points.

i think Godin uses a lot of Canada-sourced materials, which keeps their costs down.

you can to some extent look at the accumulated observational data of guitarists as semi-scientific observation showing that, e.g., ash is much brighter and snappier than alder for Fender-type guitars, and alder is brighter and sustains better than basswood. mahogany slabs tend to be boomy on the neck PU and sustain for a week; a maple cap chokes down the boominess but keeps the sustain. etc. It's just not quantified.

why does everybody play dreadnought-sized acoustic guitars when they're ill-suited for so many styles of music?

and why do all acoustic guitars' built-in PUs have to have that awful fucking hole in the side of the guitar for the install? hello? low-profile pots on the edge of the soundhole?

and WHY, WHY, WHY does everyone reissue guitars that originally had the Junior-style combination bridge-tailpiece with a fucking Tunomatic and stop tailpiece? it just ain't right.

And that surely matters when you run your signal through a 8m long efx chain...
