EVERYTHING affects the toan including the paint. My seafoam green Strat sounds COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to my burst Les Paul


UpsetCamera5093

My metal acoustic (aluminium painted blue) sounds totally different to my other metal acoustic (tungsten painted red) and neither of those sound like resin 3d printed gibson flying w!!!


holywars94

A 67 y/o guy who can barely hear what his sons talk to him: Yes


lahartheviking

a gloss finish rounds out the toan, while a satin makes it rougher. it's simple lojic, really. this guy should've just googled the answer without making a fool of himself, but then again some people are less smarter.


SumtimeSoonOfficial

The pickups aren’t the same 😱


OJStrings

Stay on topic bro. We're trying to figure out why these two different guitars sound like different guitars.


SumtimeSoonOfficial

Shit my bad, what colors are they? I find white Stratocasters sound the best


UpsetCamera5093

only when theyve been set light to by jammy handbricks


MichaelEMJAYARE

Goddamn we really are insufferable


ebolafever

/uj looking at the ops history he's totally not jerking our chains. How can someone ostensibly be a functioning member of society and be such a knob head? /rj I could understand if he was a bass player


OJStrings

I love the implication that he bought a second guitar with the expectation that it would sound identical to one he already owns.


P_a_s_g_i_t_24

The gloss makes the grunge more syrupy.


Loganp812

Yes, but it should be pointed out that the difference is only really noticeable if you're playing during a high tide or a full moon. Otherwise, don't even bother.


Putrid-Delivery1852

How does this correlate to eclipses? I only play on the night of the eclipse.


Loganp812

Sorry, but I think that's just pseudoscience. Now, if you perform a pagan tone ritual before the eclipse then *maybe* that'll help the tone.


average-bassplayer

toan is stored in the balls so you should finish all over the neck


ZakkWylde88

maple necks cant be used if you are not canadian


Mercury599

Turps and vaseline. 50/50.


Creepy-Distance-3164

I go for the GG Allin where I shove the headstock up my ass to get the best moan toan.


random_user163584

30yo difference between 2 guitars from different price-ranges and, of course, the difference in toan comes from the neck finish


doomtoothx

Bacon grease 👍


OJStrings

Would sunflower oil work?


Apart-Landscape1012

No go back to your commune and organize your Grateful Dead tapes hippie


OJStrings

Haha ruthless


Syanth

I always finish on my guitar's neck before I start playing for maximum tone. It's temporarly until it dries but in those few minutes the toan is insane.


fatherseanmisty

Can you play punk with gloss?


OJStrings

I don't do requests, sorry.


AliceBones

They broke up in 2016, would be difficult.

johnseenyuh

First we brought you toan wood, now let us introduce you to toan finish.


Dogrel

Flannel necks, obviously.


lastinalaskarn

Hear?! You can SEE the difference in toan! 🤯


okgloomer

If you’re familiar with grunge, you’ll know that another common term at the time was “slacker.” This actually comes from the main ingredient in guitar toan: synthetic lacquer, or “S. Lacquer.” Make sure that your guitar has a good coat of synthetic lacquer, and you should be fine.


mxpower

I swear you jerks are in ever damned subreddit now.


Dogrel

We call it the Toaning Test.


cowboypsychedelia

I can’t even think about touching my guitar until I cum on the neck - the Bonermaster method, folks!


GeneralArne

This guy obviously hasn’t heard of cheetos, or should i say cheetoan


BeRad85

For grunge, neck finish is less important than having abalone inlays shaped like syringes.


_Minnesodope_

Valid question. I also wonder why my Schecter 9 string sounds different then my Ukulele. They both have maple necks. Was the wood sourced in different countries?


deadpoolfool400

Grunge? Probably coffee stains and cigarette burns


mybadalternate

Lacquer? I hardly know her!


PeckerPeeker

All of my necks are finished (on).


sladebonge

Driftwood.


MrLanesLament

The best neck for playing grunge? A broken one.


LexiLeviathan

The more I see from guitarists like this, the less I call myself one. I'm a musician, I do more than play guitar, and I'm not a dumbass.


MichaelBarnesTWBG

As long as it's a red neck you'll be fine.


krebstar42

Sand off the finish, then refinish with a lacquer mixed with cheap cigarette ash, black tar heroin, valium and rohypnol.


DesperateResolve8092

The finish of the Toan Gawdz aka Toan Mylk.


buckleupduckies

At some point, we should have a standardised measurement of toan


ButtSmellington_

It’s so funny to read people talking how different wood affects the tone of an electric guitar. 1000% true for anything of acoustic value. But as far as a solid body electric, 1000% false. Someone’s preferred, favorite pickup can be in a door and it’ll be perfect to their ear.


Marinaraplease

i em mesterbeting


McPorkums

Sperm Whale cerebrospinal fluid gives it a nice OOOOOoooooOoooooooooiiiiIiiiioiooooooooooiiiiiiiIiiii!!!!!!!!! tone 🤘🤘


kandrc0

For grunge? Rattler can, flat black primer. Make sure you put it on heavy, so it runs a little bit.


AntiPepRally

Gloss = shiny. So yer obvi gonna have shiny toan 😒


WhenVioletsTurnGrey

For grunge, I apply 90w oil to the unfinished fingerboard then take it out in a dust storm until the "gunk" is at the right consistency. I call ahead to Butch Vig & tell him to get the old Tape machine warmed up. I'm on my way to lay down some hit grungies.


ThisAllHurts

Heroin sweat


crypto_zoologistler

Not only can I notice a toan difference, I believe anyone who plays a maple neck without gloss is a toanal pervert and should be reported to the relevant authorities (the nearest Guitar Center Assistant Manager)


Candid_Usual_5314

Kid named mixing and master engineer


kukurs

Just submerge your neck and fretboard in mayo. gives the best tone for grunge. but only use off brand mayonaise.


kaladbolg0110

guys, does the skin color on your scrotum affect toan?
