Tonal Differences - 09 versus 10 Series ?

[Mikeymac]

If it were me though, I'd keep the absolutely best stuff for my own guitars. Just saying.   

He does, and he has said as much on various occasions.

Oh no way, that's too time consuming. The L-03R is easy, it has 3 ATU's (the R does have a tonal mass but it's insignificant so we don't count it when doing calculations). The Yamaha is the hard one because we have to know the tonal half life of FG702S; and the mixture of solid wood and laminated will require us to combine laws. So in this case I suggest we just burn them in the lab and see which guitar displaces the greater volume of water by emitting mojo in a gas state.

Mmmm, I should have realised. It's just that I thought the extra six strings of the Yammy might have some degree of compensatory effect when it came to separating  Absolute from Relative Tone in the centrifuge. Of COURSE the tables alone wouldn't show that: I am so stupid. And I can't get across to the lab for a while due to strengthening El Nino in the North Pacific. So I guess I'll never know which I prefer. But thanks heaps for your time. Rick
