Do I get a prize for the 1st cork sniffer post?

We borrowed the word 'Vintage' from the wine-farmers, too

Mixing guitars and wine can't end well.

 

[RTH]

This term is very commonly used in the discussion pages of popular online forums dealing with guitars, in which the cork sniffers are the ones that argue and debate over the subtleties of various factors that contribute to tone, such as wood types used, guitar picup types, body shapes, finishing methods, manufacturing proccess etc.
The term is generally used to imply that these very people don't really have any experience with the actual playing of the instruments, but they are simply analyzing or evaluating tone based on theory or science, instead of just listening.

Urban Dictionary missed the mark on this one.
They are mostly defining what we would call "tone chasers", not cork sniffers. As well, the term is rarely used to imply that one doesnt have experience playing their guitar. The truth is usually quite the opposite.
