Yeah, and you've been saying this for some time. After hearing it, when coming upon older Yamaha's with the 'hog necks, I actually *heard* what you meant. I don't know what it is...density/weight, trim/finish, neck joint, glue...
Is there a reason why Yamaha doesn't extensively use agathis in their FGs anymore?
