This is good value if you play both guitar and quidditch.
ALTHOUGH I SECRETELY WANT TO TRY IT BECAUSE FUN.

Not sure what someone did to this guitar, but I'd probably still play it (not at that price though)

Strandbergs fit this category pretty well. That said, they do have a certain elegance about them. And they look hella nice when they get custom paint jobs.
Not sure if I'd ever rock one personally, but I would love to try one.

what'd be even funnier is if those guitars were built to the luthier listening to a loop of only that song. (Springsteen's version, of course.)

Even the new Rubberneck is somewhat disagreeable with me, because they just couldn't help themselves---they had to add arrows and circles. They couldn't keep it cleaner and more minimal like the vintage DOD designs. They had to clutter it up.

Arrows and circles? You mean the diagrams and label pointers?
The machismo thing is making me laugh though, total projection.

I don't have anything personal against those guys, and I don't want to e-fight them over their amateurish graphics. I appreciate their electronic efforts and their overall contributions to the pedal world/family, but their pedals are just so inexcusably unsightly.
