I have a number of guitars.... including a D-41. I can mic that guitar and record it twice using the same mic both times and make it sound completely different by just mic placement. Just by moving a couple of inches closer to the mic or further away. That doesn't even count twisting the recorder knobs.

Watching a before and after video and listening for the difference the "device" makes is a crazy pastime.

I have a D-41 also, so I have an instant understanding about you. It's an early 1990s I found on eBay a few years ago. Some pawn shop in Ohio had it listed. I was very reluctant to buy because the photos showed what appeared to be extensive damage to the top varnish. Virtually NO ONE bid on the guitar as a result, (you can be too honest to the point of misleading the bidder). I held my breath thinking I've got someone else’s headache. When it arrived, the only damage was at the top where the player's arm pit was. Obviously it was an instrument played regularly. I thought this must have been one desperate dude to give up a guitar like this. I love it. There's virtually no difference between the D-41 the D-42 or D-45 except cosmetic. The guitar tunes itself and stays tuned. Which brings up a question that I'll ask on a separate post. So, in short, don't you love your guitar? I've got Martin SPs Light Guage on it at present.
