although i really dont know the answer, i dont see how it could because the u-12 i have out in the garage weighs about 1279.5 pounds,(lol),,yes very heavy and lots of metal in this thing..I bought it because the price was right and am thinking i could make a few nickles selling it, but shipping would be very high.its all i can do to pick it up,,need to put it on the scales...
just thought i would make a reply since no one has.

I have a very sensitive tuning meter. In my experience, the cabinet drop is about the same as a wood guitar, less than 5 cents. The exact number depends on the guitar and copedent. It's not enough to bother my ears.

Even aluminum has coefficient of expansion. But, by being in a controlled environment, temperature doesn't bother it.
String tension might...???? I gues I will have to see what I experience, I just bought a new Peterson StroboHD

Temperature changes were a problem with my Sierra (Crown model). I was set up under an air conditioning vent, and when the air came on the guitar detuned very quickly. This was back when I was drinking, and it took a lot of detuning for me to even notice. I don't play in that bar anymore.

cabinet drop & tuning
...while you folks are here. The guitar store suggested that I plug the guitar into the tuner, the tuner into the pedal & the pedal into the amp.
When I'm tuned up, do I turn off the tuner..?

Peterson Tuner Goodrich Pedal
The lady at Peterson got me straightened out. The volume pedal has 3 holes in it, one (marked INST) goes to the instrument. Two are marked AMP, one goes to the Amp & one goes to the tuner.
Done Deal.

Sierra cabinet drop
I don't know about the Sierra, but I had an EMCI U12 that had a horrible drop. Needless to say, I no longer own it.
