Their vibration is dampened, by 'crud' in the windings, or metal fatigue. Not all strings have this happen to them; flat-wounds last considerably longer, and my nylon-tape-wound strings sound 'dead' from new, so...

The sound reflects the way the string induces changes in the magnetic field around the pick-up. There is very little (small enough to be insignificant...) acoustic input to these changes in magnetic flux. One has to shout pretty loud, and with high gain, to pick up any microphonic sound from an electric guitar. Far louder than would be any acoustic vibration of a wooden guitar body. If the strings are removed, even that sound is no longer picked up.

No, they don't pick up the acoustic vibration of the strings, only their changing flux in the magnetic field of the pole pieces.

Magnetic pick-ups don't react to sound at all, only to changes in the magnetic field around them (the vibration of a steel string, mostly...). That's why single-coils pick up hum, from external magnetic fields such as unsuppressed lighting systems. One cannot 'hear' this hum, as it's not phonic, only magnetic. The 'tonewood' does not react to this hum, either, nor to an E-bow. Pick-ups don't react to acoustic phenomena.

Only an expression, I know, but I was absent (at work...) when a spark ignited our sofa, and I lost my Antoria Hummingbird 12-string acoustic. My Good Lady extinguished the blaze, but too late for the guitar (and the sofa...). 'Stuff' happens.

Well, this bloke ^^ has done an amazing job of not convincing me, sorry.

It sounds like 'E-A-D-G', ( that's two notes, then same again a tone down...) repeated ad infinitum, to me, with frills and little 'funky' runs as decoration. If it's all 'funk' like this, no chord charts are needed. Just find those 'key' notes and play 'em to death.

I have many guitars (and basses, and drums...), but this is my finest 6-string, for me, with a long history.

If you can't get any microphone input, may I suggest that it's a sign, and should be left like that..? ...

That particular example cited in the article above was not among the Amazon practices, but of a poultry processing firm. Not to say that Amazon are good to work for (that turnover rate is from the US, not the UK...), but folk that take up their salaries are free to quit, if the job does not suit them. I find it somewhat disingenuous to extrapolate from there what defines anyone as a 'good person'; their own conscience does that for them, and is their own concern.

I've just re-installed Ozone 8 on my PC; it wasn't all that difficult (but not with iLok; I've never gone down that rabbit hole...). If it helps, here's the installation file I used ... iZotope_Ozone_Elements_v8_01.exe

If I didn't buy from Amazon, I'd buy very little, as there are very few outlets for many items locally available to me. I also buy from other web outlets, such as Thomann for music stuff, PB Modelisme for modelling materials, Berlin Packaging for glass jam jars, and many more. My only criteria would be to not knowingly give my custom to any Israeli company. Of course, I also shop locally, as a preference.

It's discutable, but only if the intention is to make money. It's not ours (we play for free, and only when invited...). Not all bands are in the Entertainment Business, nor want to be. Some are happy doing things a different way, and so are their audiences.

Serves you right for trying to hack Stubsie's account. ...

Why..?

Over the decades, the stuff I bought has, maybe, changed in commercial value, but it doesn't interest me to even look it up, as I won't be selling any of it, anyway. Good when I bought 'em, and still good all this time later. I'd not hesitate to change a worn-out pot, or have a p/u re-wound; the 'collector' value (if any...) is of no interest to me. I'd rather have my stuff working at its best.

Snap (almost...)..! Mine is 53110; we're (almost...) neighbours..!

...But, by then, you'll have aged, and had the photo updated.

For poor old Andy ...

Your acumen does you proud.

I'd suggest fixing a date with them for getting the monies paid over, and let them get on with their gig programme.
