the specs should be that it fuckin self destructs if any frickin wanker comes into my shop and plays frickin cheesy blues licks or stinkin metallica ballads or fuckin any sort of noise whatsoever on the godforsaken sack of shit instrument - gibson can't build for shit these days anyhow - bridges misaligned nuts cut in (or not at all) by frickin chimpanzees! there is nothing that will make you hate guitarists and guitars more than working in a guitar shop. you know how techie techno home studio heads get really tedious when they start going on about granular synthesis & filter modulation in regards to gated reverb against dry signal in a random quantized step sequencer (or whatever) - well step aside and find out you sound just as boring about another sound making device. any such novelty guitar would be bought by a spoilt rich kid's parents and he would frickin wreck it out of sheer disrespect for his position of privilege - either that or some architect / doctor / dentist would buy it to put it in a glass case. when will people realise that "blues" wank on a guitar is equivalent to mariah / beyoncé / aguilera oversinging vocal gymnastics - distasteful and done merely as a showy bauble for lack of any serious non-formulaic musical thought to take its place
