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

[Nogoodnamesleft]

Boxers or briefs??? Which actually gives the best tone????

Commando. It really opens up the tone.

Trousers with button or zip fly.

So many variables.

 

[CB_2005]

Single ply, or 2-ply?

2-ply, that is one area you really don't want a "breakthrough". lol

 

[CB_2005]

Mighty Mite necks vs. Warmoth etc.
Boutique pedals
Dumble amps
Carbon Comp resistors have superior tone
Overpriced capacitors that hold the special vintage mojo

The least controversial is the question:
OP: "Should I buy this guitar?"
TPDRI: 20 pages of "Of course you should!" lol

Why do Americans hate Chinese gear?

Is it the gear, or the problems of shipping by balloon

 

[ficelles]

Tonewood. When a technical subject has "believers" on either side it can never be anything but touchy.

Commando. It really opens up the tone.

In that context, is tone another word for chafing?

Is that the French king that went after the Knights Templers?

No, that's Louis XIV about 450 years later.

Philip IV had the templars arrested.

Diet threads. Team Keto arrives in 5, 4, 3 ...

I believe he called them “an abomination”

Yes! He also said that electric guitars are the Devil’s workshop - followed by “whoever plays these “alleged ‘guitars are a buncha %#@@&$##r’s who wouldn’t know their a$$ from a hole in the ground, so they can @@&$ &@“!! I never expected such a blast of profanity from the maestro!!

 

[1955]

Look at me vs. look at me

 

[dsutton24]

I'd have to go with disc ceramic capacitors.

 

[greenhornet]

Nitro vs poly...

 

[telemnemonics]

Four letter words:

That went well

 

[sax4blues]

The least controversial is the question:
OP: "Should I buy this guitar?"
TPDRI: 20 pages of "Of course you should!" lol

OP: I'm not the loudest in the band (aka I can still hear the other band members)
TDPRI: 20 pages of Amp/Speaker/OD etc... recomendations.

 

[brookdalebill]

We are indeed a fascinating lot!

 

[The Hammer]

Literally any topic on TGP.

Boxers or briefs??? Which actually gives the best tone????

I find briefs stacattto, but maybe that's just me.
