Cheers, I'll try some.

[quote=aliasmaximus]Strum all 6 strings at the same time with equal force. If you can make out all 6 strings ringing then you have a balance guitar. If certain of the strings drown out other strings... that's the guitar, not you.

Very balanced sound, and cannot even see the relation to the sound the pick plastic is making "dragging" the strings.
