As long as there's no electronics, it should be no different than washing you car!

Is this what they mean by "sticker shock"?

I thought about starting a new thread, but decided to just post on the end of this one.
As a further exploration of the claims of the stability of Carbon Fiber to extreme temperature changes, I just conducted another experiment. I left my guitar out in my vehicle overnight, with the temperature dropping down to 19 degrees Fahrenheit. After bringing it inside to a 74 degree Fahrenheit house I immediately opened the case. (I would never do this to a wooden guitar...Yikes!!!). Other than the strings needing tuning, no observations of ANY problems!!! My Peterson strobo-tuner that I accidentally left in the case, would not read until it warmed up though...oops... Now to go warm up my fingers...Eeekkk...

You can be darn sure that my fingers would need some extensive warming time after that kind of temperature differential!
Even in the Tropical Tip, we experienced temps in the mid-30s with this last norther that blew in. Humidity in my guitar room went down to 30%... considered putting the wood guitars back in their cases. Considered selling a couple of them and getting another CF. |

Now that I have had my X20 in Nashville tuning for about a year now, I can report that yep...it still sounds nice...nope...I'm putting regular strings back on...(I have the dedicated high strung anyway...sigh...) & yes...Everyone should try it too see if your Carbon Fiber will "sing" with the Angel Hair sound... This has been a fun experiment, but I'm kinda missing those bass lows when I play this little jewel... Out of the several capos that I have "messed" with, the "Spider Capo" seems to work best on the neck curvature, even though it takes a little tweaking to get it locked in place...Kinda like a "set & forget" thing... As far as strings...I still love my D'Adarrio's, but still would like to experiment with the "Cleartones"... Anyway...I also wanted to see if I could catch anyone who has not seen the original "joke post" too...I'M So Cruel!!! LOL Play safe my friends!!!

I never thought of going to Nashville to tune a guitar. Interesting. I currently tune in AZ.
