I love all of the replies so far! Thank you. So, I won't quote every one for the sake of space. Some random thoughts came to mind while reading all of this so far.
How is it that a tone wood could eat energy? That is an interesting concept.
We do lust after things that we either can't have or would have a difficult time achieving/owning. But this is about sound, not so much about lust.
My eyes are bigger than my stomach. My ears are influenced by my appetite. All the senses are important. Why buy a lousy looking expensive guitar, when you can have the whole package!!
If it is largely about marketing, then why do we always seem to return to the Holy Grail of tone wood for reference?
