Damm you Stephen now youve got me really thinking about this now and I haven't even had my second cup of coffee yet. Sooooo....... when you play a guitar you set up a heat gradient from the warmth of your body. This will propagate through the instrument softening wood and glue ever so very slightly. In gravitational field over a very long time any miscoscopic movements would particles to arrange themselves ever so slightly to line up with the gravitational field (on earth that would be in the vertical plane). In space this gradual lining up wouldn't occur in the vertical plane as there is not gravity. The slight mechanical moment induced by the heat gradient itself would be more significant and this would become more significant (think iron filings in a magnetic field ). etc etc,,,,,,,but the wood, if kept moist, is so plastic that it would probable take hundreds of years of playing before yadda yadda. God, thinking about this is fun, but writing it down is the sheerest tedium,,,,,,,sorry guys. D.
