Great clip Kimball, most excellent ... thanks for that rarely seen view of what's actually happening.
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
yeah its pretty amazing how much the strings move and vibrate in like a sine/cosine wave. I saw something similar on FB some guy put his iphone inside an acoustic guitar and filmed out of the sound hole you could see the waves in the strings

I'll have to agree with you guys, I didn't think the strings, particularly the thicker E,A,and D strings, would be able to vibrate like they do in the video clip, it stands to reason that when an open string is plucked, it will vibrate at the fundamental pitch as well as at all the harmonics too, have you ever seen what the signal from an electric guitar looks like on the screen of an Oscilloscope?, I might post a pic in this thread once I get myself a new digital camera.
Sorry to burst the bubble guys, but its an optical illusion caused by the frame rate of the camera.

Sorry Kimball.I think you forgot to link the vid you mentioned.
I like owls, and this one sort of looks like I feel most of the time. Not much of a story really.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
The reality is the strings do move those inordinate distance, if not in the sign wave pattern shown on the iphone, but in a wave the
length of the fretted string.
I had always thought the reason I get occasional fret buzz, apart from when you hit the strings too hard, but because I wasn't holding the string firmly enough behind the fret.
PK's tuppence worth

I've always known why I get fret buzz. My action is set so low you can't get a dollar bill in between the fretboard and strings.
I get fret buzz because I am a crap player....
