Wish I'd thought up this one for April 1st.

Still bet that got some blood boiling when you saw thread title !!!

Heck, Bacon & Day were putting the equivalent of tremolo arms on their banjos 80+ years ago (CLICK for PIC). You just know a couple of fools back in that same era had to have ruined a nice Martin or two trying to achieve the same effect.

What's more important, preserving the past or being rich enough to vandalize a relic?
