Yeah, that make sense.. I suppose encrypted data on a cell phone isn't that
much different from anything else that's locked.

That's cool.. It actually sounds a bit better than I would have expected for a
lego guitar.

Yeah, I'm sure the body & neck material affect the resonance. Seems to me that
the electronics have a significant effect on the sound though. I've done some
tinkering with electric guitars, swapping out pickups & stuff, and different
pickups and electronics can make quite a noticeable difference in the sound.
