Rmn -> Stiffness (again) (Aug. 24 2013 19:54:33)
|
Hello dear members, For years I have been asking the same question here on the foro without any answer that would directly reply to my question. The main question is: What is the factor that makes a built guitar change it's string tension/makes the guitar stiffer It's a terrible feeling getting the guitar out of the case and some times finding out that the string tension has increased by some factor that I don't know about (specially annoying when about to play a concerts). I completely loose all apetite for playing and become depressed. It's like after you were baking a delicious cake for two hours and really really want to taste it when it's out of the oven, you discover that by accident you used salt in stead of sugar (could happen to me, both white crystal structure...). I have analysed and analysed and analalysed... I know my guitar likes humidity. around 53-54 (or higher) percent is good. Temperature also makes a difference. But some times the humidity is good, temp is good and still becomes tense. My guitar is stiff. I know that. - But sometimes its less stiff, the sound becomes much more apealing, the strings feel nice on the fingers and thick and I can play it for hours and hours, - and sometimes its very stiff, playability is bad, the strings feel thinner and cut in the fingers and the sound is bad (seems like there is less string vibration like the guitar stops itselfs). I hope some one knows something. Would be very thankful for some thoughts that can help me. Thanks
