""""TONE"""" EVERYTHING THAT YOU PLAY THRU-OR WITH WILL AND CAN CHANGE YOUR TONE SO THEREFORE ANYONE THAT DOES THINK THAT TONE IS TOTALLY IN THE HANDS HE IS TOTALLY WRONG EACH AND EVERY ITEM IN THE CHAIN FROM THE ELECTRICITY TO YOUR OWN THOUGHTS, DOES AND WILL CHANGE YOUR FINAL TONE, IS MY PERSONAL OPINION

WHEN YOUR GUITARS TONE HAS TO BE ITS VERY BEST
TOMMY YOUNG
MAX-TONE MODIFICATIONS
WHEN YOUR GUITARS TONE HAS TO BE ITS VERY BEST
The definition of tone is
lLoyd greens solo on "remember when"
John hueys solo on "lost in the feelin"
Buddy Emmons genius on "April's fool" Buddy Charlton on "Kay Lee's song"
pretty much its as simple as a fellow playing
his instrument from the heart . i believe
it is a gift that you are born with not
every one gets its and very few no the differance.. i think tone is in the hands in the feet in the way you set behind the guitar the way you happend to hold your mouth that day.. it varys
from day to day for better or worse But you either
have it or you dont its a nack its not something one can learn from a book or video or someone saying hold this finger out roll that finger under ect..
yes bobbe wants to sell guitars and that is probably why he says no its not .. but bobbe has that nack and he knows what im saying i promise.
just my two cents on "TONE"

I think there is a lot of confusion in the perception of tone.
With a good amp and a quality guitar anyone can dial in a great tone.
If You play an intro or solo note for note the way it has been played by any of the Great players I guess You will not sound as good,whilst your single note sounds good, your execution of the rest of the phrase will probably lack the exact technique the
"Pro" uses
Do We then say "Tone is in the hands"when We mean the use of tone is in the hands.
Best regards
Billy

What is tone?
timbre: (music) the distinctive property of a complex sound (a voice or noise or musical sound); "the timbre of her soprano was rich and lovely"; "the muffled tones of the broken bell summoned them to meet"
note: a notation representing the pitch and duration of a musical sound; "the singer held the note too long"
vary the pitch of one's speech
a steady sound without overtones; "they tested his hearing with pure tones of different frequencies"
the quality of something (an act or a piece of writing) that reveals the attitudes and presuppositions of the author; "the general tone of articles appearing in the newspapers is that the government should withdraw"; "from the tone of her behavior I gathered that I had outstayed my welcome"
Papa, I hope this helps regarding Tone,
Dan

Yes, this debate is talking APPLES and ORANGES. Good tone (timber?) is not ALL about either the guitar or the hands, to the exclusion of the other. Cmon, can't we recognize that it is a combination of many many factors??
The words DEAD HORSE and FLOGGING are coming to mind.
Kinda reminds me of the arguments between man and wife, when neither one is really listening to what the other one is saying.
Maybe we need some counseling...

Moving your picking "hand" closer to the neck sounds WAY more "bass"-ee, to me.
Playing in the area near or over the pickup sounds WAY more treble-ee, to me.
There is a huge amount of tonal range available "at your fingertips", so to speak.
They all sound the same to me untill someones hands touch them.

Tone
TONE! TONE! we dont need no stinking TONE! as long as we can play louder than the stupid lead guitar player and keep the keyboard player on the other side of the stage
No-sir-ree bubba, aint got no time to worry about that tone thing, too much trouble.
I ordered tone with the last steel I bought,,,,,man what a rip off!! They forgot to tell me I needed good right hand technique and bar control along with decent equipment.
So I said ok,,,,send me an Emmons a SGBB a NV400 and oh yea one of those NV122s & throw in a Profex and one of those BJS bars & anything else that will give me great tone,,,I mean tone to the BONE!
UPS droped all my tone off at the front door YIPPIE
Still no tone
So I called em back & said ,,just where did Lloyd buy all his tone from & they said he made his own tone?
So now im gonna make my own tone by golly, just as soon as I get the plans
