Do tonewoods matter on an electric guitar at all?
You'll notice I purposely put electric guitar in the title of this blog and not just guitar on its own. The reason for that is because when it comes to acoustic guitars, the woods chosen in the build absolutely matter.
The scale length of a guitar refers to the measurement from the bridge saddle to the nut. No guitar company I know of makes all their guitars exclusively using one specific length, because there are times when the design of a guitar neck needs to be a certain length for either appearance, function or both.
You have probably heard many guitar players say that a certain brand and model of guitar is their "go-to instrument" for every type of music they do.
