(I know that there's a fly in that ointment being that they now OWN those companies since 2004) but I only buy ones older than that. Cheers! And keep yankin those Floyd Rose Floating bridges!! Oh wait, a YJM Fender I do have. And a Solar ARTIST series LTD signature guitar - the 2 exceptions to the rule! 🤘 V⚡

    This is true but it's for different reasons. With singing it's because you sound different inside your body then what is being projected and so in a way it sounds better to you than it actually is. With guitar it's that you've practiced the same riff 1000 times. So that lick to you is second nature while someone else has never heard it before and you just played it perfectly.
