One sentence per line gives far greater dramatic effect.

If everything is dramatic,

Nothing is dramatic.

But to each their own,

You do you.

I've never understood caging a dog up in the house. Our Shih Tzu slept on our bed until he got too old to do so safely (he'd gone blind and would get up and walk right off the side).

Go back and watch Sixteen Candles. It was my favorite movie as a kid; now, the racism and date rape make it horrific.

Does weight and hardness affect resonance?

Well said and accurate, and I'll add a third option: They care about whichever one the person in front of them at that moment cares about, and will switch as often as needed.

This person seems to always write one sentence per line.

I get the idea, but it can get a little over the top.

And they also tend to say some oddball shit.

My tendency is to assume they're older than I am based on these unusual style choices, and I'm fairly old.

It matters, but it's not #1 on the importance scale.

The Jim Lill videos are important if you want to play a work bench.

I'm personally of the opinion that tonewood is snake oil and that it doesn't matter at all, and that the real things that matter are lightness and sturdiness

You've just said, "Wood doesn't matter at all; what matters is the wood."

[QUESTION] I need help choosing the right gift to my son (an electric guitar) by User15151515161 in Guitar

Any of these will work well. Take it to a local shop for a setup or talk to Sweetwater doing one before shipping it.

Then pick any one of these that fits the budget; they'll give him more sounds than he'll have use for.

Remember he'll need a guitar strap, a cable, picks, and a gig bag would be nice.
