I added some stuff to the post before this one about sympathetic vibrations and how they MIGHT be affecting the frequency drops measured by @csglinux in his graph. Sympathetic vibrations are a guitar builders biggest fear, and usually, the better the wood, the more prevalent they are. The way you combat them is either use a softer material or have more mass (thick guitar necks).
Using a filter in a metal tube might be causing some higher frequencies to lose energy by vibrating the tube itself instead of the eardrum, effectively canceling each other out.
I guess these pictures kinda explain why I like my mids intact, lol. Guitars need to growl and sound thick, not be some instrument in the background due to a highly scooped FR curve! The midrange is where all your ambiance is. Sometimes people tend to concentrate on the high sparkly details but forget that a lot of the songs feeling is lost by a steep V or U sound signature. lol I know this is a headphones thread but here are a couple of shameless pictures of my baby... I cant speak of building guitars (okay, I only built 2.. and that was enough!) without posting a couple of pictures:
