wow.... that was REALLY cool!

I've always heard that guitars sound better as they age ...and it's often compared to wine. This is the first time though that I've heard the emphasis on... actually PLAYING the guitar because otherwise - an old guitar is just an old guitar. I like the whole philosophy behind sort of... growing with your guitar and how you play your guitar can sound AMAZING ...and no one can quite duplicate your playing by using your guitar - it's almost like... you grow with your guitar as your guitar grows with you. That was really cool - thanks so much for sharing the clip with us!

Makes no difference on an acrylic guitar.

I saw this on u tube, the speaker is Robert Godin, the maker of Godin guitars, also the Seagull, Art and Lutherie, Simon and Patrick, Norman, and Lapatrie Guitars.

Interesting concept, probably can't hurt.
