For Immediate Release:
In a recent poll conducted in the Polling thread of the respected Jackson Charvel Forum located on the Internet at www.jcfonline.com, it appears that the 65/35 percent formula is in play.
It can safely be known in real time that:
1. 65% of experienced and knowledgeable artists of the "art of playing the electric guitar" prefer guitars be equipped with a guitar string locking system known as an Original Floyd Rose or OFR for short.
The major reasons being the systems ability to provide players the control to precisely tune to a desired key and lock it in, resulting in maximized "in tune" play.
The other though less mentioned reason was the value added "expressiveness" factor.
2. The 35% of players who maintain a preference that their art is best expressed without having the "gizmo", which has been known to cause guitar artists to pull their hairs out and lose sleep, presented equally compelling reasons to not play "the system".
The main reasons supporting this philosphy are based on the inherent drawbacks associated with the OFR which rely on longer down times in changing out strings and the "tools" required to properly set up the precision device to perform as designed in the first place.
A very good time was had by all as the JCF'ers broke strings in stating their preferences.
The poll, though unscientific produced the reliable and measured 65/35 percent formula that the artists can use while balancing their art with science and technology.
