First of all, I'm going to listen to anything the Doc sez. There are many similar views on how to "break in" an acoustic guitar by playing and/or otherwise introducing vibrations into the soundboard. For example, some will park their guitar stand in front of a large stereo speaker and blast their acoustic with music non-stop. Who's to say? I personally believe that the aging/drying of the wood plays at least as large a role in improving tone over time as any vibration. But I'm no Doc Watson, so don't listen to me...
