It's been a few years since I've had to do any sort of scientific work, but I do know that introducing a second variable means you no longer have a controlled experiment. Effect pedals were also becoming part of the band's gear.Īlso, if you're going to claim the pickguard had a dramatic influence on tone, you have to consider that the guitar had been stripped of its finish. We had just reached the stage, and as he said this he gently pulled the sheet away to reveal my Epiphone Casino. There will never be scientific evidence supporting something as subjective as guitar tone.įor Revolver, they were using new Vox and Fender Showman amps. You can't get better proof than John Lennon that removing a Casino's pickguard changes the guitar's tone. They said 'they just fall off or curl up so we take them off.' Now for the big dumb questions, is there a proper color 'E' for. I just bought a new Casino and the dealer takes off the little 'E' on the pickguard. It's a controlled experiment - same guitar, same player.the variable is the pickguard being on or off. Well heres a question that just reeks of importance, but Im anal retentive. Listen to John's Casino work on 'Revolver' (pickguard on) and then listen to his work on 'Let It Be' (pickguard off).
Look' date=' I have verifiable, scientific proof that removing the pickguard changes the sound of a Casino.
