That is not how it works, logic and reason I mean. You say it is stupid, you must tell me why. But you cant tell me why, because there are no reasons. Arent you guys a little embarrassed with egg on face about this whole "Powder-Gate"?

Now who's childish? You.
Tell me why it's not stupid to put powder all over your guitar. With specific facts.
Than explain this alias troll account you're using when you've been banned several times already.

You got me munch... Now answer the questions..
How does Increased mass produce less energy?
Does maple have increased mass?
Compared to what?
What are the mechanical and physical properties related to attack delay relationships in sound waves in timber?
How is this measured?
What is the common expression for phenomena of those measured results?
What other factors influence the attack delay relationship of sound waves in timber?
Describe the modulus that is associated with those expressions?
Show your workings?

First of all I put it on my hands and fretboard, not all over the guitar. Second, why is it stupid?

Just to clarify this thread with some facts for a change...
[reasoning]
Talcum powder is made from talc, a mineral made up mainly of the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Silicon based products are not good for a guitar. It is also a minor abrasive which will accelerate wear and tear
IARC classifies talc that contains asbestos as "carcinogenic to humans".
So, it appears that it would be pretty STUPID to take a chance by using a substance that could potentially be linked to cancer.

So you say that a Les Paul's sustain and top end is not attributable to the maple cap?

It's stupid because it's stupid. Red is a color because it's red. It's the same principle. Tell me why it's not stupid, with facts. Specifically. Give me one valid scientific reason to dump powder on a guitar that can't be explained away with logic and reason or by using another method.

In layman's terms - it's fucking stupid

By body powder, I mean body powder made with corn starch. It has been known for decades that actual talcum powder containing talc is not even good for babies. So can you tell my why body powder made with cornstarch is bad for fretboards.

It's stupid because you're putting powder all over your hands and fretboard. Do you even play guitar? Why do you do that? Because Jeff Beck does it?
Here are some facts:
You are not Jeff Beck
He also wears duct tape around his bicep. Do you do that too?

I stopped putting anything on my fretboards and strings a long time ago. They only thing I do to my neck, with the strings attached, is frequently bathe the entire length in shower to shower powder. I rub it with a clean dry cotton cloth. It is pure bliss! My action is silky smooth fast with no oily, greasy, string dulling residue. It absorbs all acid, salt, grease, beer, or any other funk. Since I have been doing this my strings do not tarnish and last a long time. Any thing you put on your strings, even a damp cloth, gets inside the windings and clogs and corrodes them. I have studied this effect for years and I am convinced. Try wiping your strings with any king of liquid and they will be dull after. I dont think fretboards need anything but to be polished by your fingers.
