It's true about the sound (at least in my experience); when a guitar's neck geometry is off kilter, the tone is different. Or perhaps when they play better, they sound better. One of my 000s got a reset, and I swear that it had never sounded as good as it did after the reset.

Funny you should mention that. Jorma has a 'museum' in the form of a silo on the Fur Peace Ranch property. Inside a plexiglass case is the J-50 he used to record 'Embryonic Journey.'

Between that and seeing pictures of the late blues musician John Jackson with his J-50 I always had a hankering for one of those models.
