Have to get that guy they debunked every electric guitar in existence as well as all the most popular amps and determined that literally nothing people thought led to the sound characteristics was true. I forgot how the amp worked out when he made an amp that could replicate the models he tested, but the electric guitar came down to pickup position along the strings and distance from them. Six strings strung along a gap between two tables could replicate the sound of any guitar by having the same pickup location.

I would assume the body of the guitar actually does something on an acoustic though, but people made that assumption about electric guitars for as long as they have existed.
