As they perceive it is the critical thing here. Good points, some audiences don`t care, some do, depends on the venue, audience and the band.
I think every band tries to do their best, but that is so subjective.
Personally I think choice of wood is lower down the list than a lot of things. Tele bodies have been made of Ash, Pine, Alder, Maple, Hickory, Rosewood and mine is made of Ash with a Beech top. All sound like tele`s.
As guitarists we pick what we like(excuse the pun) and make our arguments suit our taste.

Not that I like Sex on fire etc, but if that's what the crowd wants and expects, then that's equally as valid as anything else. Some people are just too precious !
Oh yes they do. Sometimes my "audience" is a producer I've actually heard of.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not some super hotshot - I play in a range of bands, do a bit of studio engineering and the odd session, build effects pedal circuit boards and sometimes even work in a supermarket to make ends meet - but I occasionally find myself somewhere "proper", with a couple of household names dotted around, shaking like a shitting dog whilst searching for a critical and appropriate tone for a simple three-note phrase.
Believe me, there are times when you DO sweat the small stuff, and times when you don't.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
