_________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thing I don't understand is why the "Guitars by Leo" haven't done better than they have, especially with the attention to detail and quality G&L gives to each and everyone of its guitars (well, almost anyway) I've played most of my life and I'm a Fender Man at heart...and I say this...I might just become a G&L Man...
Furthermore; Upon listening to Demos on You Tube it was obvious to me that my ears were picking up a woodier tone from the G&L's rather than the Strats...I sure hope I don't return this G&L (Blond-Premier Paint...Tinted Maple Neck Model) I hope the Alnico V Pup's are good too! If I decide to keep the guitar for it's build quality, feel, and tone...I can always install some Lollars or Fralins... Name's Doc "Glad to be here"

My CS Fender Hendrix 69' Reverse NOS (paid $2499 plus shipping) has Single Coil Routing because it is a single coil guitar...It's a Stratocaster. When I received the Guitar new in the Case, I inspected it and found issues I shouldn't have found on any guitar. Moving right along... I just bought a new Legacy for [actual price deleted by Admin] at Musician's Friends...(20% off Coupon) Regularly priced at [actual price deleted by Admin]... I could have bought a Fender at 20% off as well. Lately it seems getting a well made Fender even from the custom shop is a real crapshoot! I don't say this lightly! I think I see real value in a G&L Guitar. Thing I don't understand is why the "Guitars by Leo" haven't done better than they have, especially with the attention to detail and quality G&L gives to each and everyone of its guitars (well, almost anyway) I've played most of my life and I'm a Fender Man at heart...and I say this...I might just become a G&L Man...

Magnets and wood don't interact.

wood and strings do however. if you don't think the wood makes a difference, try one of those clear plexi guitars, see how the tone is. i can tell you it's horrible.

What is the difference, in mass, between a bathtub route and a s-s-s routed guitar?
The question is not, "does wood make a difference?" but "does this XX grams of wood make a difference?"
