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

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


Though seriously, if you were rich enough, would you be diabolical enough..????

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?
