Youtube doesn't use mp3
Not Youtube's fault! But yes, they do so and there should be a way to burn their fingers while doing it Keyboards and mice, that don't just illuminate when it's dark, but catch fire when old mp3 is being used.Users do on their vids.
That comment was from some big player. Angus or Keith or someone in a rig rundown type video some years back.Then again, when will you EVER be able to dime a 100w stack in a concert hall when most of us can't even make it past the small bars stage. In my experience on this board people that actually play in concert halls don't post on forums, at best only their techs do.

Those days are long gone for output volume.
Earlier comparisons to religious beliefs is exactly correct regarding this subject. It moves past science into an article of faith, and no amount of reason or physics can dissuade the persuaded.
Edit-Ok, where's the hard science on this? Where are the studies?

Bottom line is it doesn't matter. I'll upload a clip, and you think you can tell me what the neck is made of? Or the body. What nut material is present?That's absurd.
The strings suspend between a nut and a bridge or a fret and a bridge. A magnetic field produces the signal to the amp.
This crap has been beat to death. Believe what you like. I don't have the time.
Exactly. Like I said: ReligionThis subject

Those studies were posted earlier by another. There is no study on this subject. At least not that I've ever seen. These would deal more with the "magic" in vintage instruments so many vintage instrument dealers claim. Seems to still stand in the realm of psychoacoustic phenomena.How do you conclude from these that bodywood isn't important? This seems to me about difference between old and new instruments.
This has been done by the European Leonardo project.There are some trying to obtain funding for such a study in the interest of sourcing alternative woods for environmental impact.
How do you conclude from these that bodywood isn't important? This seems to me about difference between old and new instruments.
When guitarists and listeners could see the guitars, and they knew from which woods they were made, we see a very strong difference in sound perception: ± 50% fallback for the Non-Tropicals compared with the same Non-Tropicals in the ‘blind’ testing (from 50% blind to 25% non-blind, Fig 1)
Yes and part of my point. Very important but if the fundamentals are not right a set or race tyres on say "your "car isn't going to win the race.But a Ferrari with 10 dollar tires will never win a course...
Also missing my point entirely . It's not about telling the difference between two different species of wood , it is about an instrument that is harmonically balanced or not.This has been done by the European Leonardo project.

They let experienced luthiers build acoustic guitars with local woods and compared them to traditional build guitars.
The people testing were all classical trained professionals.
They did double blind tests.
Conclusion:
Experienced guitar players and listeners were unable to distinguish T’s from NT’s at better than chance levels. All blind tests show that it is possible to make equally good sounding guitars from both Tropical and Non-Tropical Woods.
Results:
When guitarists and listeners could see the guitars, and they knew from which woods they were made, we see a very strong difference in sound perception: ± 50% fallback for the Non-Tropicals compared with the same Non-Tropicals in the ‘blind’ testing (from 50% blind to 25% non-blind, Fig 1)
Conclusion:
Sound perception is strongly influenced by aesthetics and preconceptions of what are the ‘best’ woods for making guitars. Prejudices play an important role in what guitar players and listeners think sounds good or bad.
In this regard, I always urge people to watch this:

Don't make ignorant pronouncements and then say you haven't the time to listen to why you are wrong.Edit-
