Being vanilla as I am feels like being one of those hipster guys that eats exclusively organic and buys only farmers market food

That's a whole lot of words to say "we want more money"...

Also, as much as I'm fond of a myth like Leo Fender, he didn't create the Strat out of thin air.
He collected feedback from musicians like Bill Carson and Rex Gallion, because LEO FENDER DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY GUITAR SO HE COULDN'T COME UP WITH AN ERGONOMICAL DESIGN WITHOUT EXTERNAL INPUT.
That's how the arm carve and the double cut (for easy upper frets access) were designed.

There's also the "still acting like they're 16 years old" and they're as bad if not worse than all the other cathegories

Nice, do you have an amp to go with it?

LoL sorry, I was in war mode
