    Lemme tell you what, the wood definitely has an impact on this electric instrument! You can really hear through the pickups and the amp that the wood spent thousands of years in a swamp in South America!

    Guilty as charged here. I still ridicule my wife because she insisted we spend an extra £100 on some HDMI cabling the assistant we bought a TV from was pushing. I explained about how ALL HDMI cables have to uphold a standard and that there is no difference. All to no avail. For anyone uneducated on this, the only reason they use gold plating is for corrosion and nothing more. Pure copper is actually more conductive than pure gold is. And more so since it is just plating, and gold is a soft metal, you can remove that plating very easily just plugging it in and out.

      An EXTRA £100 for an HDMI Cable? Holy smokes lol. If you are shopping for a TV, make sure you check out whatever you need before you enter the store. As soon as you‘re inside, rush to the items you need, avoid eye contact with personel as much as possible, and rush back to the check out ASAP. If you fail any of these steps you won‘t leave without a warranty extension and/or some stupid other stuff you don’t need anyway. Thank me later lol.
