Yes, that too I wonder why there has never been a tonestring debate… What do you think started the Hundred Years War? One of these, I suppose (yes, it's a 7-string of sorts):

Well I'm sure once upon a time a group of (most likely) men sat around the camp fire discussing the merits of one design of stone ax versus another and which trees produced the best shafts handles and which types of rocks were the best etc. And some of those guys probably collected stone axes and perhaps never even used them that much for cutting, chopping and hunting. And eventually the pursuit of the perfect ax became an end in itself and no longer a means to an end...

A very good piece I wish wiki was available when I was at uni. I did have to to laugh while reading it and discovering there is now an IKEA effect 😁

"The rank reflects the current total number of sales for this product, and takes into account the amount of stock available. " So is it total sales plus current inventory. I'm not sure why they include current inventory - perhaps it simplifies the metric on their end. Or maybe not...maybe they take stock into account in a different manner. It doesn't pass the smell test for me. The Big Tone has been around for years so has likely accumulated a lot of sales but the HB35plus lemon is a relatively new model yet shows up very high on the list. And if the HB-35s are so popular then why not the investment in new finishes for those rather than the CSTs?

The Thomann rankings go down when a product is out of stock, which implies it is a calculation over a recent time span, not over the product life. The English translation does not reflect the original, which does not mention total sales.
I find the presence of a 850€ Gibson Les Paul and a HB SC-1000 Progressive (with high output, "metal" pick-ups) in the first two positions quite puzzling,

What Henning says at 22:03 makes no sense. "The guitar compresses". Really? I guess you'd need active electronics to do this. And how would that be a good thing? Sharon was praising his Macmulls for having more dynamics, Henning wants to hear compression in them, which is in contradiction to dynamics.
"The guitar sings". No it doesn't. He's just being a fanboy. Sharon's answer does not imply there was no reverb in their set-up, he is just speaking in general and stating that age old recognition that a slightly reverberant room provides a pleasing, interesting effect which gives some illusion of polyphony to the music. I play different things when I put a delay on because of that. It gives me ideas where to go.
