Nice shop. I gotta look into a CNC machine.

I can tell you that oil temperatures are lower with synthetic oils and at a given viscosity, require less torque to drive the oil pump at the same delivery pressure. We verified all this through actual dyno testing. Also, on piston-type air compressors, they recommend a duty cycle of 70% with conventional oil and a 100% duty cycle with synthetic.

So true!

That guy seems to have a lot of fun making guitars - I think the tone wood is just an excuse to be in his shop - lol...

you said "duty cycle"

Interesting how similar they all really sound.

One limitation I see with this test is that the bridge wasn't mounted to the bodies. There seems to have been pretty solid physical contact with the neck/bridge unit, so I'm sure some vibration transfer to the modular bodies was happening. Still, I think subtleties in frequency damping - if any - would be far more evident with the bridge mounted directly to the body wood. Of course that also would've raised the likelihood of inconsistencies in action and pickup height.

I sure wish the guy had tuned up.
