Members mikesr1963 Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Higher action does not contribute to fatter tone. Why? You action can be 10 feet tall but you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevman Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yeah but you probably play girlie guitars. Either that or you have not read any magazines. If I dip my 12s in nitro before stringing will it turn my guitar into a tone monster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoneNut Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Here are typical players of 8s. As you can see, they are obviously effeminate and have no tone.On the other hand, this is clearly a MAN playing his guitar! Take notice of his big, thick strings. Look at the bulging muscles he's developed by playing those heavy gauge wires. His face twisted from the orgasm the high action gives him. Listen to the glorious sustain... GODDAMMIT LISTEN TO IT! Just look how gracefully his skirt flows over his thigh... uh, forget that last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrbrown49 Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 So let's see if I have learned my HCEG lessons. Poly vs. nitro=huge effect on tone. Higher/lower action=no effect. I got that right?EG Actually the lesson I get is nothing makes any difference what so ever except what you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les Paul Lover Posted October 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 You people take things way too literally. The original article didn't even say sky high action, but was just like a tad higher. That thread should have died a while back. Anyway, it certainly served one purpose: it most certainly proves that us, forumites, can argue for a very long time over the most trivial of matters. It's pretty great, innit?
