I was asking a serious question. If adding springs adds a certain tone to a guitar and I don't know what it is I'm going to ask what that tone is. But at a guess I assume Booth means it adds to the twang of a strat.
And yes you have got it wrong, 41 strings too many currently. But give it some time, you'll be correct in the not too distant future. 9 strings are coming into fashion at the moment.
I thought it was just nitro that yellows over time and not acrylic? I've sprayed some plastic models with this 2 part acrylic lacquer (on acyrlic paint, guitar body in question also has acrylic paint) I have and it hasn't yellowed for the last 3 years. Or is that too short of time for it to yellow?
