I'm not.
Dead serious.
Perhaps we should rename this thread:
"Curt's Failure"
Hey, you gotta be able to laugh at yourself once in a while.
Excuse me, but I have a lot of crow to eat!

Curt, halleluya! I had faith all along that if we could just figure out the right way to explain it, you would get it. Maybe it's as much our fault as yours that it took so long. It's a hard thing to explain, and maybe we just weren't doing it in a way you could get. I'm not sure what caused the breakthrough. But I just couldn't leave it hanging, and kept making one more attempt, when I probably should have been doing something else. Thanks for being man enough to admit it when you saw the light.
As I said on the other thread (Longer string, same tension), it's not about winning or losing. Thinking that way henders or receptivity to the ideas. It's just about us all agreeing on what the terms mean and learning what we can from the discussion. Looking back on my comments at the beginning on other threads, I see that at first I refused to admit any connection between breaking strings and keyless and short overhang guitars, because I knew it couldn't be because of tension. Now I know there is at least one other plausible explanation - less stretch and changer throw.
But I still don't know about the tone and sustain differences between keyless and keyed guitars. I don't think discussions can shed much light on that. It will take playing several of each kind of guitar, and I don't know when I will have a chance to do that.
