I've read several reports from talented people all saying they love it, but i'm still skeptical. I suppse i'm too cynical to take things at face value. :lol: I can't help but wonder if its the placebo effect at work.
Makes sense to me. It's just like exercising those "muscles" in the wood. 8)
Time for the oscilloscope...

Ah, I was assuming you had already made some comparison measurements with it...

I meant "time for the oscilloscope to provide the figures". I just had this idea...the initial readings are done and recorded, but it'll be a few days before the second set are available. I'm as interested as anyone to see the difference, though I'm beginning my measurements with a Jaguar because that's what sparked my curiosity once I heard the results with an acoustic guitar.

For me..shaking my Jag, Strat etc with some vigor,,headstock pointed South, really opens up my tone..also gets rid of all that pesky sand and salt water build up..technique is shown at the end of the following video:

Great sounding, and looking acoustic you got, Jesus. 8) Been practicing for your debut at the Spanish GP coming up? I understand that Alonso is looking forward to hearing you play. :wink:

Yes Jeff I hope Fernando Alonso will call me for playing for him on top of the podium :D
