The most Controversial, Provocative, Volatile, or Just All-Around Touchy Discussion Topics in the Guitar World?

[redhouse_ca]

Fender vs Gibson, Beatles vs Stones, Tubes vs Solid State...

There are some topics that almost always seem to end in a pile-on, no matter how it starts. Those are a few that I can think of off hand.

Without actually going into pile-on level details (this is an EQ test ), what are the big ones... anything related to the guitar world?

And, in your humble opinion, why is it such a touchy subject?

Dude, tonewood. It's ALWAYS tonewood. Why? I can't answer that; it's a reason unto itself. Even now just mentioning it I feel the urge to wax philosophical on the fact that nobo... wait.
Stop.
Nope.
Not gonna do it.

Ya almost got me, ya sneaky little...

Sausage fingered fizzy distortion Gibby guys complaining about Teles being too unforgiving. Or conversely, 70+ year Tele cowboy chorders with guitars strung with tram tracks making condescending comments about "Gibbie gurls".
