1) Yeah that's nice but I have a million things on my plate. So don't hold your breath.
2) Nobody except me has played the guitar or heard it in real time, therefore any advice in the thread is handicapped and limited by that. This goes without saying and I would have thought been well understood. Conflicting theories yes...my own theories have changed many times. Advice offered has been varied and ranging from this to that. I'm not dismissing any of it. I'm taking it all on board. From time to time I disagree with some of you. Probably because you can't touch, play or hear the guitar properly. But I can and I know what's what. If you want to pontificate from your armchair, without my guitar in your hands then of course you can. It's just an internet forum thread. We're not launching nuclear missiles or troubleshooting molecular biological contagions here. If you get my drift.
3) Just a joke 60's Guy
4) If you must keep harping on and on please do. But I'll be staying out of it. I'll reply when the guitar is fixed.

Stay tuned!

a) No, I wouldn't imagine people would care too much.

Nah, I think you're wrong there, friend. People do care. Rumor has it there is interest among folks within these pages in the sound(s) that eminate from wooden boxes overlayed with tensioned strings. People love a mystery. They also love resolution, even if the resolution is subjective, all in one's head. I have tinnitus, but I'm never going to convince someone else to hear what I hear. At times it has been so loud, a sudden ring, there's no way!...I had to ask, "did you hear that?!". Surely, but no.

Just as an experiment, it probably means nothing....if you can find the time...

Finger a C chord, with your left hand, of course. With your right hand, ring finger(finger next to your little finger), pluck the string as you deaden the note with your index finger(pointing finger). Start any string you would like, perhaps beginning with the B string, then G, etc & so forth. Move up the neck fret by fret. Using the mystery problem sound you're hearing as a reference, see if you can identify or replicate that sound by doing as stated above. Of course some frets you should simply get a *thunk* dead sound, others you will get a harmonic.

Honestly I'm not sure why I suggest doing this, not entirely, but it would pretty simple and take not a lot of time & energy. An alternative, have you tried a stern talking to, perhaps a strongly worded of letter of reprimand?
