That's the Pomfoolery thread? Why would spam be welcomed there?

We would moan it to death, complain, write a strongly worded letter to the mods and then talk about 1966.

That's the point. It's what we do.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Here's one of the "reviews"...

"My friend told me that the action and the intonation were set perfect when he bought it, so they didn’t require any further adjustments. There was no fret buzz although the action was pretty low. Its chambered body makes it a relatively light guitar despite the Basswood body, so there was no shoulder pressure. The Bigsby Bridge made me feel a little funny handling this guitar, but that’s because I’m not used to it, and I felt that the access to the upper frets was a little beamy. All in all I think this Gretsch model handles great, and it is a guitar made for Blues and Jazz players."

So I'm thinking, Guitar Optics is the final version of Harmony Central?

I've just had a 750ml bottle of Lagunita's HOP STOOPID at 8% and I am indeed feeling a little "beamy".

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.
