I never figured out why people think that wood type matters for the tone of an electric guitar.
The vibrating string is not even touching the wood. Just spanned between a ridgid metal bridge and metal pegs. The electricity also does not run through the woods but through wires insulated by rubber. The pickups also don’t pick up vibrations or sound from the wood since it contains no metal…
How did anyone even come up with the idea that wood matters for the tone.
probably started by big brands so they can sell their names for more. The same guy also tested amps and pretty much everything anyone has believed about them, tubes etc, for decades is also bull. He used a few effect pedals and switches to make an amp that can mimic the famous brands he used as reference to a degree where I doubt anyone could tell the difference.
you can make an electric guitar and amp out of scraps and get whatever famous sound you want but a lot of people I have meet really don’t want to believe this after lining their walls with guitars with price tags I could never afford.

whichever one has the pickup and pickup positioning that gives the sound you want
