It takes a special kind of pompous twat with airy fairy precious notions.

Haha, nice insult! I'll accept twat, but I'm certainly not pompous, and I'm not generally described as being 'airy fairy'.

guitars are no more special than hammers

Erm, I think you might find that they actually are...

Tell me, are there more guitar collectors as opposed to hammer aficionados? I suppose there may be some, somewhere.

How many people would consider saving a hammer first if their house was burning down?

My guitar is certainly of more worth to me than my hammer.

QED etc.
