The very least that it takes to make out "fake science" is to view it in the first place. Ruphus, Sometimes science tells us what we want to know, not necessarily tells us what we don't want to know. I inject what I know and what works for me and people think I'm off my rocker:-) However, the proof is in guitar sales since I don't own even one guitar to practice with. They all have sold, thank God. Richard Brune once asked me, why did I choose to share my ideas of fine tuning since I worked so hard all these years to accumulate knowledge of the process. I think my answer was because no one showed me this and I have the perfect right to share if I want to. So I have shared this system with beginning builders and some long time builders and none of them have had any negative feed back from it. One of my past students who is no beginner, was Manuel Adalid, one of the principle owners of the Esteve Guitar Factory in Valencia Spain. Very nice fellow and open to new ideas, and he created a new model with my tuning ideas that has been quite well received. Arcangel Fernandez used a system of fine tuning that incorporated water and sea salt being rubbed on the fan braces to release a dynamic that made a difference for him. But when I mentioned this, I got all kinds of negative input about it, except for a few builders who actually tried it and said that it worked. So this is going to be my last sharing with any process that works for me, my friend. But I'll let you know when I finish the 1987 Reyes style, Gd willing. Also, I might add, concerning the topic on this thread, that anytime you alter the molecular structure of wood, like a torrefied process, you run the risk of opening a pandoras box or something that really works with fine tuning adjustments.
