bout what that art might be. if you lean a guitar against an amplifier and walk away for the entire feedback performance, you wouldn't think of crediting "gibson guitar and fender reverb deluxe amp" for the performance in any seriousness,
I wouldn't be so sweeping. Yes, it sounds silly at first blush but it depends on the specifics of the performance and the intentions of the person setting up the conditions for feedback, doesn't it?
Without going into the boring bits that distinguish guitar pickups let me say that they are not all alike and will feedback differently. If I were taking advantage of such differences to get a specific quality of feedback the "identity" of the guitar becomes relevant.
Likewise, if the feedback performance is, in my mind, ABOUT the relationship between human and instrument (implied by the absence of the human) I have another reason to credit the inanimate objects I used.
