      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.
