Do the wristbands restrict your circulation at all Harry??

Not really, they are not very tight and I'll only use them for little bits at a time, often just on the left hand, play for a little while then take it off once my hands feel warm.

The boogers are the worst problem. Slimy little buggers!

Seriously, a super luthier that I know told me once that guitars will open up during the course of being played after sittting around for a while. He would always play his acoustic archtop for a good while before a gig to get it warmed up and said it made a big difference in the sound.
