STAR LETTER
HEAR, HEAR
Having been a person who makes noises on a guitar since 1964 – those Beatles have a lot to answer for – I have often anguished over picks, strings, guitars, amps and layers of paint (see Neville’s Advocate issue 491). However, as I have grown older, I realise that those things have very little authority when it comes to ears. As you lose the youthfulness of your aural ability, you lose not just volume but also frequency and who knows what. This doesn’t mean you lose everything, but it does mean that all that other stuff is subjective.
I still love the subscriber, I do enjoy the debate between more wood versus less wood or Bare Knuckle versus original brand and so on. It’s interesting to look at the science and hear expert views, so please keep it up.
