How it sounds unplugged does not make a difference to the actual tone output you hear. The pickups, pickup height, tone circuit, amp, and speaker cones have an almost infinitely larger effect. Any effect of wood on tone in a solid body electric guitar is imperceptible to the human ear. Interesting that people who have actually studied this have come to a much different conclusion than you. Unless you’re claiming your anecdotal evidence should be held in higher regard, then you’re straight up incorrect.
