Echi -> RE: Can too much relief be altered during a full refret? (Aug. 20 2024 18:04:20)

The tube videos say too few really to be reliable.
The sound is compressed, you miss the overtones, you can't get how the sound moves in the space.
Further than that you miss other elements like the vibration of the guitar itself ( the feeling of the strings under your fingers, back/neck when you pluck the strings), not to say that the player hear the basses in a different way than the listener.
In fact a tube video offers just a pale idea of the real thing. It can be of some use just as a reminder about how a guitar played when/if you have tried it in advance.
If you don't have these primary infos you necessarily fall into bias as your brain fills all the missing spots with presumptions.
If this wasn't enough, is it's good to consider that the world of guitar making is full of myths and misconcepts, some in good faith, some else due the flow of infos through internet: too many infos are a bad thing if you cannot list them in the proper order of value.
Out of experience I can say that plenty of people overestimate the value of the single elements like a certain wood or a certain bracing, or the wood ageing or the peghead or the finishing or whatever else.
The main value of guitar making is the heart and hands of the artisan instead.
In the case of peghead, I respect your opinion, but after having reversed this feature in 2 guitars I am confident in saying that the peghead doesn't make a guitar sound more traditional.
