I don't know, it seems to me like something from the Washer by Slint (you know it well enough). Honestly, I could come up with a few pairings for the positive moments (not necessarily big hits), but the ones for depression don’t really correspond to fixed titles, I’d say. By the way, Dream Letter is more about the son than the ex-wife. Anyway, to throw in some titles, I’d say that among the love songs in general, I really love Buckley’s Love from Room 109 and Anonymous Proposition, Wyatt’s Sea Song, Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks. And so many others, I didn’t think about it that much, maybe I’ll add some more when they come to me.

Here I am for the tear-inducing songs, a topic of burning relevance, but I haven't figured out if we're only talking about love songs or in general (because, I don’t know, I’ve always found a song like Amerigo by Guccini very moving, which talks about his uncle returning from America with a hernia). Anyway, I already agree with Spacca. I totally miss Cantuaria.

>>> I believe you are the only one in the world, along with a few lutaio, who doesn't think that each guitar sounds in its own way <<< I didn't say otherwise; I said that on solid bodies, the differences in sound due to wood (or the materials that replace it) and shape are negligible compared to amplification and other factors like the parametric that have a much greater impact. The difference in construction can be seen at most in a good neck, but aside from severe cases, a good setup makes even a 200-euro guitar very playable (I’m skipping things like a floating bridge or other stuff: the one on the Strat is ridiculous and incredibly hard, for example). And I'm not the only one who thinks this; I can see that Muito shares the same opinion.

I would really understand much more if you talked about the differences between Mesa Boogie and Marshall, but thinking about the personality of the number of windings...

"FOR ME, THE TELE (MY TELE) SOUNDS BETTER THAN ANY IBANEZ" I have tried both the Tele and the Ibanez. Right now, I have an Ibanez, but aesthetically, I prefer the Tele. Sound quality differences: zero. Variety: mine has two humbuckers and a single coil. Comfort: there's no comparison, the Ibanez is much more comfortable. Weight: again, no comparison, the Ibanez is much lighter. Now, if you want to tell me it's better than any Ibanez, apart from the fact that it means you've tried hundreds of different Ibanez models and you think they all suck, or... I think it's more like the former. I mean Alè. Twist it however you want, but the differences in sound are nonsense (let's not even talk about "different amplifiers": that's exactly the point), it's a matter of pickups, amplification, and effects. Personality, sound of the guitar... bullshit that Fender and Gibson love for people to believe.

"it's not fashion, it's taste and it's possible to consider fashion even those who buy the Ibanez of Satriani just because it belongs to Satriani. It would be an even more ridiculous trend since it sounds artificial" but it's true, in fact the Vai and Satriani models cost a pretty penny (even if the Satriani is super comfortable). That's fashion too. But the reality is that Ibanez guitars sound just as good (plastic?!) as the others (if you have a good amp and some other little things, but that applies to the Ibanez, the Fender, the Gibson), and preferring an uncomfortable, heavy, and expensive guitar just because it's cooler makes me think. In short, we go back to Cavalli's jeans. @Zanna, ah ok, but for hollow bodies the discussion is already different because the body matters, even though I have little experience in that regard.

<<<In terms of sound and aesthetics, Fender, let me say, are a whole different ballgame.<<< I've said it before, and I'll say it again, for me it's nonsense. But everyone spends their money where they prefer, of course; maybe I'll throw some money in that direction too. @zanna: nice, but is it really a solid body as it says (by the way, my discussion was about solid bodies)? Because I see the 'effes,' which are more for looks?

But saying that wood doesn’t affect the sound isn’t true<<<< well, yes, I didn’t mean that (even though as I wrote, there are those who understand and prefer the laminate economical version to the solid wood one), it’s just that unlike a classic guitar where that’s everything, with an electric guitar it’s nearly a detail because “you can fix any 'gaps' with amp settings, pedals, etc.” and there’s no arguing about that, the real difference in sound can come from a parametric equalizer, not from wood. It may be not very poetic or rock, but it’s the truth.

Well, to tell you, I happened to see (and try, even if just for a moment) a model that Ibanez is making now with a material I can't remember, and it weighs half of a Telecaster; it feels like playing a carbon racket.
