If you're biting your tongue and someone's shouting 'bullcrap', there are sides.
I hope you get to the bottom of your issues.
 
I don't think so. I've innocently, and with civility discussed issues with a guitar. And have remained civil at all times. That's not a side. That's discussing things on an internet forum. It would only be by sleight of hand I should be deemed to belong to a "side" or to one corner of some kind of fight.
 
Maybe less time typing on the innernet and more time process of elimination would be more productive towards sorting the problem. I'm not trying to be snide, sometimes comes a point you got take that bull by the horns. Anyone hearing a similar phenom who stumbles upon this thread might benefit from your efforts, both discussing and hands-on.

It's been an interesting thread here, something to read when traffic is slow. I hope you get it sorted out. Keep us informed of your progress.
 
Yes. I get that. I started the thread around a year ago. In that time I've only had a handful of opportunities to sit down and focus on the problem in peace. And in that time my understanding of the problem has changed etc. I'm not gonna start tinkering until I'm ready and it's a good thing I didn't because now I think I've got more of an idea than I did before. In the meantime, it's just chat. Big deal. Typing on the internet costs me nothing and sure doesn't cost other people anything. The only price being paid is in whatever frustration other people may or may not feel from reading an internet forum and feeling mad. You don't have to read it. The internet is a big place.
 
I'm glad you read the Martin guitar forum thread, and I agree that the discussion there was inconclusive, however, I still recommend it that you visit AGF for additional responses and suggestions. Everyone here (myself included) desires it that you find a solution in the near future.

I think you underestimate how bored I get at work. :LOL:

But, seriously, I would love to hear a clip of the issue you're having, or see a video of it, it possible. It it wasn't that slight high frequency overtone I was hearing in that video, then I'm not entirely sure what to suggest, and seeing and hearing the exact guitar in question might make it a little easier to diagnose.

Longshot, but in the meantime, what if anything are you doing to keep the guitar humidified in the case?
 
Obviously there'll be no time frame guarantees or timelines. It'll get done when it gets done I'm afraid to say. Clips I can post up maybe this weekend. Humidity...my area is pretty temperate there's not outrageous extremes. Cased sure, along with humidity packs for soaking up whatever summer humidity is around. But conditions here don't swing between ice and snow and unbearable heat or anything. Does get hot in summer, sure.
