I remember my wooden box guitar days.Humidity was a big deal.Sitting around with 2 or three guitar players on a cloudy,wet night,all playing wooden body guitars,(Nice ones),and none would stay in tune.We used to laugh about it.The O does not have this problem.
Plastic body on an O just sits there for about 100,000 years or something like that,doing it's job,recieving and projecting sound.
More wood = more changes in eveything about a guitar when humidity is a factor.
One less thing to deal with.
Thanks Charlie K.

Amen to that !!

It is like a sauna here in Winnipeg today.

The humidex got to 40C+ and I take great (twisted) pleasure in knowing more than a few 'wood boxes' are being very cranky and a general pain in the ass for their owners...

It's a little bit harder to make that smug 'tsk-tsk-oh-you-use-an-Ovation' face when your Taylor has absorbed more fluids than Mr. Happy in the beer tent on Canada Day...
