Either way it is easy enough to make and provides the builder with an antidote for boredom as does commenting on this forum. Oh I hear you, I alleviate decades of boredom by funneling my thoughts through here. On a serious note, we had a conversation sometime back in which the idea of finishing the inside of the guitar was considered, you know varnish on the inside. The quesiton that came up as whether or not it is for three things: 1. To stop fast expansion and movement of wood in rapid humidity change conditions 2. To make the inside of the guitar pretty. 3. To create an inside surface that would have lower drag friction for air moving inside the body cavity. I know from other discussions on MIMF that #1 is basically untrue, or to any practical effect to stop damaging effects if a rapid radical change is going to occur. Number two is debatable, I don't like shiny insides and it makes repairs more difficult. Mileage varies from, maker to maker on how pretty it is. Three, Richard Jernigan who is a radar specialist and highly skilled at solving physics questions performed a calculation and found out that in fact the reduction of friction was so minuscule that it would not effect the performance of the guitar. So he shot down the anecdotal assumption made by some non builders that they thought the varnished inside was superior. Since you are honest as the day is long and are saying it is a function of your style of making to extend the logic of the Reynolds number concept into your building I like it. And I as the imperious and self appointed grand visior of the De Bunking Dept. will not have to badger you. You have out smarted me. I would however implore you to say that you in fact invented the Reynolds Number in guitar context and any parallel development in aviation design was pure synchronicity. [:D] To be serious again, I wonder what the actual performance improvement is? If there is empirically checked data that says the square spar/brace thing is doing something good in the body cavity, I want to mess around with square edges more.
