A 'warm' sound.
Never known what that means.
What's the opposite, a cold sound?

Yes, obviously .

I'm not a fan of the term 'never played' when someone lists a used guitar for sale

By all means it can be as new, mint condition or showroom condition etc - but it can't be 'never played' - Someone at the factory will certainly have played it - someone in the store will have played it, but granted it might have been a mail order purchase, but I'm sure the seller has played at least one note/chord on it  - I was exhibiting at a guitar show once and someone had such a guitar for sale with this 'never played' signage - I took it of display (without asking) played 2 chords and put it back on the stand and asked him to change the price card as I know for a fact that I have now played it

No, cold is further away from warm than glassy, followed by sterile

Is that like trying to find sympathy in the dictionary?

Sell my children/wife/organs for that

Not fussed about any of these BUT sick and tired of references to Terry Morgan, Chappers, The Captain and Dentists re:PRS Guitars

I've had  enough of this! I'm off to have a strum on Delores, my Matsumoku, lawsuit, Lester (she plays like buttah!!). I've had my tech fit some new pups so want to hear it dimed through my rig.

Describing pickups as "front" or "rear".  They're all front pickups.  Why the fuck would you put a pickup on the back of a guitar?

Okay, but where does organic fit in with all this?  I think it might require a Venn diagram.

Humbuckers can be good in some circumstances.

I was going to ask 'where is shite' ? in the scale of a poor tone  - but I suspect it might be something similar to the name of a guy who makes nice shirts

Fred Perry makes guitars too?

"cleans", especially when the sound is quite clearly clipping and overdriven.
"dark"
"rich"
"spanky"

"chewy mids"

Seriously, what the fuck does that mean?
