 graphite

here's a great article from the AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY online

http://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200612/decker.cfm

there are many articles about  building guitars with graphite online. this one seemed to say it all.

i own two guitars with graphite in their construction. a Klein copy with and original Steinberger neck and an original Steinberger GL hard tail. it's weird but i feel odd playing other guitars, not only for the feel but also playing guitars with headstocks.

i guess i have grown accustomed to not knowing anything else

probably not the greatest outlook to adopt when looking into new guitar design.

i think i should play as many different guitars as i possibly can over the next few months as a form of rehabilitation.
