Elvis, try this mate. I really do respect your differing opinion to mine. But please indulge me for a second, to see why I think, what I think.
Take your guitar, unplugged. Play a open E chord. Nice full chord, using all strings. Hear the way it sounds unplugged.
Take your guitar, unplugged. But this time, touch the body against a big piece of wooden furniture. The kitchen table (I do everything in the kitchen) is a fave of mine. Play that same open E chord. Hear that it sounds different. Louder, maybe a better bass end response. But it sounds significantly different. If I was to use common guitar dogma, I'd say resonant.
Now set an amp to a clean flat eq sound. Have it quite loud so you're not hearing the unplugged aspect of the guitar. Plug the guitar in
then repeat the previous two steps. But this time listen for a difference in sound from the speaker.
If you have the hearing of a bat, you may hear a minuscule, minute difference. Nothing anywhere near as dramatic as the sound difference when unplugged.
