I wouldn't say that it has "no effect", but my guitar is still acoustically viable.
How a DeArmond fits on a particular guitar is a matter of specific geometry, and some guitars "fit" differently. So it's possible that mine "floats" more than yours. Some rods are bent more than others....
But to be honest with you, I'm currently looking for a "travel" guitar, i.e. one that I could mount the DeArmond with a neck rod, permanently, and try to make sure it floats as much as possible. I can't do that to either of my L-5s so I'm guessing a beat up, but loud triumph or spartan is in my future.
