This dude Shawn reminds me of another guy in the way he tries to get his point across, not saying an alt monikor or HCAF insurgent, he just reminds of another person

To be honest, I never wanted to argue until I read how insistent you were that the guitar's resonance didn't matter because it was all about the amp.
I have more than enough proof otherwise, including a $200 guitar I just bought which is amazing sounding coincidentally only (I'm sure Squier didn't intentionally make this guitar so amazing sounding for that price, lol!) because of its specific cuts of wood. And I even narrowed it down to its specific neck, having temporarily swapped necks on it with another Squier (with the same neck type, maple with rosewood board); this guitar has a "magic neck". The wood type doesn't even matter as much as the exact cuts of wood used, and this "Chinese POS" is solid proof.
And believe me, I only WISH the amp had much more to do with it, that the guitar could be "a Kleenex box with strings and a pickup". I make amps for a living, and I'd love to claim that I can make any guitar sound amazing through my amps. But I know the limits of what I can do with an amp, which is amplifying a guitar. Because of this I've had to give far more disclaimers about how a person can't expect to get a perfect EVH sound, EJ sound, SRV sound etc. even if they think their guitar "should" just because it looks like the guitar those artists used. I wish I could promise that; I'd make a lot more sales. But I can't, not in good conscience.
So that's why I feel so strongly about what I do, and will not be side-tracked in an argument about it by any means--insults, name-dropping, circular logic, what have you. I can let this go too, and I don't want to be your enemy.

Shawn needs to fucking stay on topic and stop beeing a little pussy. The question was... Can you change pickups for a guitar with dead sounding wood. What Shawn doesn't know is that if you play a dead guitar through a decent amp. the sound is still dull. Take a really resonant guitar through that same amp and bingo..... Mojo Tone. If you get a beat sounding guitar no pickup will make it resonate better. It can improve the tone a bit , but you will always have a dead sounding guitar.... Whether or not Shawn can hear the differance or remain on topic remains to be seen.

I love the look of spalted maple, but I'd probably never buy a guitar made with it. That could be your problem right there. this thread got so long-is that what you said it was made of?
