So, I put strings on, and let the guitar sit for a few days. I finally checked it out last night. Everything was back to normal. I was very relieved. Amazing how guitars react to different situations, like cold weather, hot weather, humidity, or even sitting with the strings off for a while. Guitars are simple yet very complex instruments.
After thinking about all this, I thought about guys like Suhr, Anderson, Knaggs, and was amazed at their creations. Imagine how amazing it would be, to build an instrument at the level of those guys. Their ideas for their instruments that make their guitars more playable than others, more endurable than others, even better looking than others. Thank goodness for guys like them making kick ass instruments so we have these awesome guitars to play!
