I stumbled across this today and thought you all might be interested. It might save an expensive set of back and or sides one day for you.

That was great. Thanks Ken. Dan Erlewine teaches the same "poping" technique in his PRS top instructional/information blog on Stewmac's site. I haven't tried it yet, But am definitely going to on my next drop top.

Very cool, never would have thought of that one... I too liked the popping figure. That guy sounds like he really knows his stuff.

That was cool, a little bit scary having the blade guide/guard up that high though. Good way to twist that blade and snap it.

Anyway a good tip indeed. I'll have to check out that other video's there soon.
