    witt,

    i know what you mean but i feel like "music lovers" don't "suffer through shows" just because you take a short break to retune a string, its a part of the instrument and a part of the show. as one example i love how sometimes jack white chooses not to change guitars between songs in open D or G and those in standard tuning because the little imperfections make it more unique.

    i can see how it would benefit musicians in the studio who need consistency while recording over long periods of time but they make it seem like everytime a string drops a half step out of tune you need to run to the store and get a new setup...

    plus yeah, its just one little addition at this point but two years down the line i wouldnt be surprised to see exactly what you described....anyone remember when a phone was just a phone?

    • hey i'm on your side. but it's just a specific guitar. Good thing about music is its accidents, mistakes etc. It's a lively thing. that won't change.Witt
