Haven't had one on the bench yet but it does explain the string tree and a few other things.
First, the post was NOT directed at YOU personally. Perhaps I should have said "have accomplished what they have"We are asking WHY not saying it is wrong without the full information . And how do you know I can't play as well as him or anyone.
For me, it's not a particular feature set, the guitar that gives me the greatest inspiration isn't really suited for the type of music I prefer to play. It doesn't make sense to me why this guitar causes such a different level of creativity. I do know it's nothing in and of the guitar itself, it's just me; but I have not been able to have the same results with other guitars.What you are saying is basically if the feature set particularly appeals to you it has "Mojo". I get it but all those things are quantifiable. Mojo is BS by it's very term.

You, sir, have insufficient romance in your soul.None of which a guitar has or can be.
You must be a lot of fun to jam with...None of which a guitar has or can be.
No way "we" can know that.....................I won't mention the obvious, but many things are taken as truth that we have NO WAY of proving as fact. Just sayin.None of which a guitar has or can be.
I kind of think that Brent Mason KNOWS what he wants. When you guys can play like him (or Danny Gatton) then maybe you can question it.
I checked a few videos real quick and he has the trees right where they are in the pict in this thread. But hey, what the hell does Brent Mason know, right?
Yes we do, and not all of them do sound amazing. Many are altered and the ones that are not regularly played do not sound good.
Wood is a random variable but it IS quantifiable even if you can't readily replicate it . I always tell my customers not to try and have an "identical" guitar as a back up to there main stage instrument because it won't be exactly the same and they will consequently have a favourite and not use the other. Better to but something different and celebrate the difference. This is also a song reason for never having a custom built guitar built for you. The last 5% is not in the builders gift. It's not mojo it's a large number of tiny differences that add up to one big one.
