Topic: Rattlers in guitar.

A long time ago I was told that if you put the rattlers from a rattlesnake inside your acoustic (without the snake)it would have a better sound. I have 13 rattlers and a button in mine and honestly can't tell a difference but I was wondering if anyone else had heard this.

Re: Rattlers in guitar.

I dont know about snake parts in an acoustic but I bet if you change strings regularly and keep the guitar in tune it will sound good. smile

Shouldn't this post be moved to the Coon Hunting Section?

Re: Rattlers in guitar.

You know I'm not too sure about the rattlers thing, but I've been told that MY guitar playing sounds much better with a small pillow stuffed through the sound hole!

Seriously though, resonator guitars have all kinds of neat cones and things inside them to enhance volume and tone, so Maybe there's something to that.
