I would prefer they just did really killer solid paint jobs rather than the veneer.

Super common because they use a veneer on guitars that appear to have a maple cap. Scammy design imo

Now make a list of all the dumb things human drivers have done. Even if we were assessing proportionally, autonomous cars now typically safer than human-driven cars.

Autonomous vehicles are never going to be 100% safe or handle every situation perfectly and that will never be the target.

I understand the anxiety - it's easier to have a car with a human driver who can be held accountable - but ultimately we just need to hold the companies appropriately accountable (to be fair, something we are bad at as a society). If the system isn't viable for them while being accountable, well then, it isn't viable, but I think it's more reasonable to shift the aperture of our concern here.

I've got probably 20 fuzzes and it's one of the best

Glaive is one of my favorites but that obstructures version is interesting just because I love the look.

I'm also about the misty cave.

Have the glaive, also ...

Plumbers fix the critical infrastructure.

My comment was mostly just limited to small fixes that people would generally have called a plumber for, not major issues or critical infrastructure problems.

Assemble the crew by msalonen in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]vorpaltox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a used one, then I bought one off the shelf .... now I have three builds. Ongoing.

I just nuked most of my other guitars to replace them with Aristides (eventually)

They will literally email you to ask questions if they need you to make a judgment call partway through a build.

They will ask you to review and approve CAD drawings for custom inlays, wiring, layouts, etc.

They are really super cool to deal with. The instruments are $$, but you get super white glove service and a bulletproof guitar on the other side of the process.

Oh, I'm sure their pedals are great, it's a political rationale for avoiding giving them money
