The effect on the guitar I guess is personal taste. I thought it was appropriate. Flanged guitar....

I certainly don't think it was the reason this song didn't become a smash hit.... that would go back to the song itself and the promotional direction of the record company.

Now days, they try to get as many hits off a given CD/release as possible....maximize the profits.... but that also depends on the star power of the artist..... for example Kenny Chesney or Taylor Swift may have 5 to 6 singles released off a new album over the course of a year.... whereas someone like Chris Daughtry will only have one perhaps two if the first one climbs the charts.... no star power = no clout = you're lucky to get one radio tune played.
