My word! The D55 is now louder and stronger in the Bass dept than My GAD50. This is a complete reversal of both guitars tonal attributes, prior to the musical indoctrination.
The Taylor also, seems to be more responsive across the board, and it let Me know so by popping the high "G" string last night.
I play at least 4 of My acoustics axes everyday, but the stereo diet has simply surpassed what I could accomplish by playing the guitars.
I'm a believer!
Dr. Izza,
Let me ask you this: have you had these guitars a while, during such time you have played them on a regular basis, and assuming they had been "broken-in" by now, and now by giving them this "treatment", they are still sounding better than before?
If that is the case, then it would be safe to say that almost any solid top guitar, even after its "breaking-in" period has come and gone, when the wood has settled in, would get better if subjected to this bombardment of sound waves.
So there is one more level we can take our guitars to, in addition to just playing them, to break them in, and that is this treatment of sound waves, to wake up resins that have been locked up for years.
Anybody agree?
Disagree?
The D55, I've owned for about a year now. The Taylor 855, since about July. I don't believe the axes vibrate when playing, as intensely when utilizing the stereo, subwoofers directed into the soundhole. BTW, both guitars were manufactured in 2006.
"Case" Closed. :wink:
