Now if I were StandingOvation, I might tell you that the old metal labels had the same fundamental frequency as the guitar thereby resonating precisely with the guitar itself creating a bell like overtone...
..and then the rest of us would have to guess whether or not he was serious. |

The factory was probably switching label designs and wanted to use up the older labels..... |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | The metal labels are classy looking as long as they don't get any deformation, wrinkles, etc. Then they look like $#@&%. I myself prefer the paper labels, as they tend to look better with age.
Of course, a plastic-coated paper label that would resist moisture would look even better.... :) The current white paper has a tendency to show the adhesive underneath as it ages.
