It's called terrible quality control :mental: but yeah, when you're dealing with natural products like wood it's not quite so easy...

This is a club I desperately want to join.
But I doubt I ever will. :(
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.

Probably one of the few guitar clubs I won't be joining (along with the JEM and the White Falcon gangs). Like the sound of LPs, even like the look of a few but never liked the feel or the weight. Some lovely examples here to be sure to be sure.
