Yamaha has recently launched the new SG1800 series guitars. Yes, it's that familiar, Santana-era guitar outline which proved to be a something that worked (tone-wise as well, mind you...), so here it is again- the above finish (this one's an SG 1820A) was conceived in conjunction with the band Mastodon.
Anyway,something interesting incorporated into its conception is Yamaha's IRA technology- Initial Response Acceleration. The completed instrument is subjected to mechanical vibrations, the manufacturer's claim being the acceleration of that 'playing in' feel & the delivery of 'excellent sustain'.
The real life understanding here is that, the machine emulates the string vibrations which believably makes the instrument function as a whole when the different components vibrate together. If this happens more often, the instrument components are seasoned together. So when are we gonna start putting our instruments on the washing machine for some good vibrations?
