What causes "Wetness"...?

Blue Drag

You know the natural reverb thing that is in evidence on some of the Asian Gypsy Jazz Guitars. If there's a cause, is there a cure?

usually a better bridge, higher action, and heavier strings help to dry it up.

It has mostly to do with neck angle. The less angle there is the "wetter" the tone.

Old thread - if going with a DuPont bridge for a 300, any thoughts on what height is "optimal?" I realize it may depend on the specific guitar, but is there's some real world experience that suggests one over another?
