It is a thinly veiled truth that almost every kind of finish will 'shink in' over the years. But would that thinly veiled truth apply to the rarified atmosphere one finds in the Jernigan Suite at the Emperador? Sorry, perhaps this has been discussed in greater depth, but I departed Samoa a day ago and have been in-flight since. Am overnighting in San Francisco and took advantage of the opportunity to check in with the Foro and read this post. Is it not possible that the Emperador has the unique capability to maintain things in place, with no deterioration or shrinkage? Would not the long-ago dancing Moroccan society ladies with scarves tied around their hips be linked to the thinly finished (if not veiled) urethane on guitars? If the guitars and the Moroccan ladies had resided at the Emperador all these years, would either have aged and shrunk? Would the scarves still fit around their hips and the urethane still be as thick? Stephen, while having dinner this evening at Scoma's I thought about heading to the Edinburgh Pub for a couple of ales, but I decided not to follow up on the idea, as it would not be the same without your scintillating presence to complete the evening.

Bill Bill, That was damned Hoyle of you to forestall going to Edinburg Castle, next time we meet in SF we will hoist a few rounds to Ronnie. As for the Jernigan Suite, I think the action of shinkage is the opposite of the physical reactions objects undergo if they reside in this most elevated wing of the Emperador. Be it guitar neck, or the fine waist wear of Moroccan ladies in waiting, shrinkage is the last action that comes to mind. In fact the re-engorgement of any shrunken membrane, be it urethane or organic can be effected by an overnight stay in the Jernigan Suite, the most potent and rare of luxury accommodations.
