With a little more build practice and optimization I bet they could arrive at an Adamas. :D
Then they could go belly-up, too. |

Location: Portland, OR | Interesting.. but kinda left me wanting more.. Conclusion seemed pretty week. Why go through all the trouble of building a carbon mockup of a Yamaha, just to say its crisper, mellower and had more sustain. Just pick up an Adamas and an Elite, its pretty obvious. I dunno, maybe i'm in a critical sort a mood. I did like the fancy colored graphs though! |

Like the man said, comparing a 1537 to an Adamas would have been pretty simple.
Then compare a CA to a Takamine or Breedlove, and your research woulda been complete.
But you wouldn't have burnt-up as much time... And isn't that what Research is all about? :p |

I give it an F for incomplete. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Ya know, this paper was about carbon fiber, not any specific guitar, other than the two used in the analysis for "control" purposes.
So here, we have as close to a head to head , a sort of, "all things other things being equal" comparison for which I've heard way too many people 'round here whine about...
Why do I even bother?
BTW. My long time pet gerbil contracted Hepatitis. Please send prayers. |

Put my Pings I can't break 80 with in the hands of Tiger Woods and he's gonna shoot 65.
What's my point? I have no idea. |
