- In a Santa Cruz' flyer I read, Mr. Hoover was telling about his
- philosophy in building guitars. He tries to make all parts if the guitar
- so precisely and for example splits the wood for braces along the wood grain
- in order to have more 'relaxed' guitar. The concept of 'opening' with time and
- playing is technically losing the tensions in the guitar body, and Hoover tries
- to make guitars without tension in the first place. Makes sense to me.
