ya' know ...... I will apologize for my role in distracting the thread.
I'm just in a mood about life in general and, in particular, arguing with people about stuff.
What I should have said, instead of being a smartass, was that muttley and I might just be destined to not agree about this.
But even more specifically, I'm not sure there can even be a definitive answer to our disagreement. Vibration and transmission of same is pretty complex and because of woods nature .... it can behave in unpredictable ways.
Ultimately I really respect and like muttley and I regret giving any other impression.
That doesn't mean I'm always gonna agree and it doesn't mean I'll just bend over and accept his word as biblical and inerrant. That's probably hubris on my part but I tend to keep my own opinions of things in a lotta situations.
No one should probably take my opinion over muttleys but sometimes I will and that's just the way it goes.
Now back on track ...... let's get this guitar designed that I'll want and not be able to have.
In my view you were participating in an on topic discussion that was part of what I'd hoped this thread would become.
