So, it seems like we have three variables that change as we change thickness:
1. Aperture,
2. Inductance, and
3. Eddy currents.
The first part I'm not quite sure what it would do practically. I had assumed the narrower it is the more overtones because the shortest wave lengths won't get canceled out, but I may be thinking back to some hack humbucker analysis from years ago. The second part is pretty obvious, we all have a good idea what varying the inductance does, though would it really be lowered more than a couple tenths of a henry?
So, what might be the differences tonally between the laminations and single pieces? I'm not quite connecting the dots on that part. When you say higher eddy current loading, could that be expressed in neanderthalese as "more eddy currents"?
What was the old Gretsch model with the laminations, the Super-tron or something like that?
Forgive my lame questions. Consider them conversation points.
