I've heard that we superimpose our emotions on others.

Perhaps guitars, like pets, take on the characteristics of their owners.

The most likely reason is that a small black hole with the size of an atom but the mass of a mountain is orbiting the earth and passing though your house - periodically sucking the sound away. When you experience this you should hold on to your guitar very firmly. People might suggest other reasons but you probably would find them hard to believe.

Yeah, mine are pissed that they have to reside and be played by me rather than Vincente or Gerardo or the late Paco...

It appears certain to me that humidity can effect guitars response. With some guitars actually drastically.

On the other hand there has occured such weird alteration with the perception of certain instruments but also at certain points in time with guitars in general, that for reason there seemed not much else left over than my subjective being.

Senses are so unreliable.
Even just with the coffee I am grinding lately. It seem to taste so differently from day to day. I have been wondering whether it could have to do with the varying quality of local tap water, but its like my tongue and mood of the day.

Perhaps you should look not at humidly (to blame the guitar) but atmospheric pressure (to blame the ear) and also check for allergies, sinus problems or anything affecting the Eustachian tube and your ability to balance pressures inside and outside of the ear. Could you be getting a mild version of the thing we experience when cabin pressure changes in a plane and everything sound strange?

Thirty-five years ago my '67 Ramirez blanca was sensitive to the seasons in Austin--dry winter, humid summer--but seems much less so now. In the meantime, my right hand technique has become stronger.

With those Flying-V headstocks all the guitars of he who shalt not be named look female to me.

and whilst we're on the topic...

How do people around here get in the mood for different palos? If my alegria lacks spring and spark I like to imagine white bikini bottoms with bright red polka-dots, it's enough to put any man in the mood.
