Without a doubt I have felt this on guitars - and its unnerving. I think a lot of times it can be choice of woods, build capability and/or poor design. Personally I am not a fan of this feeling in a guitar
Definitely the type of mic you use is very important - a 57/58 is not ideal.
WHERE you place the mic is also important. Try placing the mic about 1" away from the 12th fret - when I record I do a stereo pair on the 12th fret

As for smashing or burning or throwing guitars away it is pretty simple:
1- perhaps one should be more offended by the crime and criminal than the viktims response
2- every day in this world, every day - there is a rock star smashing a perfectly fine guitar - where is the uproar? This has been...
Fair question. Vik is using faux friendships, being very smart with manipulation, lies/deception and of course all the usual sales techniques. ...he will say things like
- someone canceled build slot - it will be done in two months - pay in full to hold it
- someone isn't paying their final...
You said it perfectly - you can't imagine getting to the point where you would take that extreme - that shows exactly how deep, how long of time and personal this #viktim thing goes. Again I won't judge the #viktims - just the perpetrator.
The number is staggering - in my estimation probably 100+ - I have first hand knowledge of 30+ - Asia, Russia, Europe, South America, North America - I have yet to hear from the South or North Poles
If a person takes money and they know they will NOT provide the product this is called stealing. Stealing is a crime. The person who steals is a criminal. Vik is a criminal and there are a lot of #viktims world wide including myself. I have first hand knowledge of this behavior and pattern...
The Kessel Run is in final stages now I think JimF. I don't know if Chris's books are open to the public right now - but I can't speak for him. I think Lorcan is right you maybe looking at 2022. Chris is busy for a good reason - cause his stuff is fantastic and he does what he says he will...
That is definitely not a good thing to happen to a guitar. It has happened to me before but from what I've found its not the adjustment in the environment as much as the wood probably wasn't cured long enough. Different environments can show this sooner and sometimes "shit just happens"...
Hi Simic,

Or if you give me your email address. Thank you for the time.
