You mean you put more stock in a given technique merely because it is associated with a large guitar company, rather than actually thinking through the questions just raised by mere individuals? I have news. People work for Taylor. They look and sound a lot like other humans, and make mistakes too. So does NASA.
From the materials of engineering perspective, there is merit to the idea of leaving strings to settle overnight rather than stretching them in.
No one is going to argue that stretching in can and does work
adequately.The question is, could the longer settling in time still benefit the string in some small way, likely from introducing stresses slowly, in a controlled fashion, thus ensuring that any strain is distributed equally along the entire length? The answer is yes.
Now if the Taylor method had some kind of actual merit, say for safety or obvious benefit for tone not realized in my post and the other one questioning the Taylor method, there might be reason for you to take umbrage with our counter, but then again, you do have the word goofball in your username, and that has to count for something
