yeah.. it's the same principle as the human brain sloshing around and smashing against the inside of the skull
in sudden and repetative impact traumas...


errrrmm.. like heavy metal head banging.....


...and as for "It has to be said that it takes a special sort of idiot to buy a guitar by mail order.

I find that seeing, hearing and playing it are pretty damn vital considerations when buying an instrument..."

..it takes a special kind of pompous twat with airy fairy precious notions about the 'unique magical qualities' of individual guitars
to talk such dogmatic bollox....

ever heard of factories, standardisation, cost & quality effective cnc machining guitar production....

We're not all rich hippy retired corporate executives or trustafarian bastards
who can afford to commision zillion £££$$$ rare fairy dell tone wood guitars from 200 year old spiritual guru master luthiers...😜
