Naw man, read the message I posted twice. It changes nothing in my world what another guitarist thinks.
The reason it's painful, is because there is a certain type of person out there, who are incredibly rigid when it comes to discussion. They enter a conversation with a certain idea, and will hold onto it until death. You can present them with expert opinion, scientific research, collective observations, and they will not budge because for some reason, they think that their belief holds more weight than all those other factors combined. No matter what you say to them, they will think you are full of it, and trying to push an agenda, or that you are misguided, or uninformed, just like what you think I am trying to do right now. These people will always think that the other person doesn't get it, that the world doesn't understand what they are saying, has biases or doesn't have facts, while completely ignoring that they themselves have biases and ignore the facts.
That's the pain behind talking with you. It's the irony of it all. From what I've read in this thread, it's become painfully obvious that regardless of what was going to be presented on these pages, your stance was not going to change. Leo Fender himself could crawl out of his grave, learn to use Youtube, and send you a private video explaining to you how it makes a difference, backed with scientific proof, and you would not accept it as credible. This is exactly why this is going to be my last comment on the topic. You are going to retort, stating something about me not getting it, or resorting to what ever strategy, so that you will end up feeling like you got the last word and I backed out. You won't get it, and that's fine. I won't answer back, but at least I'll have explained, as eloquently as I can using a language that is not my mother language, why those who are uninformed on the topic, should take this thread with a grain of salt, or a good laugh.
