Re: Gilchrist Model 5 - how long to get it to open up?
put some real strings on it. Drive it with a thick pick - maybe try different points on the thick pick for variety.
Let your ear acclimate to the new sound.
(I don't really believe in the voodoo of, "Opening up." I believe it takes your ear a bit of time to sensitize to the new intrument. I also believe it takes time to know what a new instrument can/cannot do.)
Then again, it could be a dog. . . ?. . . !
f-d
