What restrictions?

Yngwie Malmsteen shred notes with only 21 frets in his guitar...

... & Allan Holdsworth bewildered everyone with only a single humbucker.

The features in our instruments are basically attending to our needs. Some of us do not need certain features, they are not essential anyway (eg: Floyd Rose bridge). The attributes of our instruments do not make us a less capable player because there are so many means to an end.

Hey i have a question. The price for most fender signature strats at swee lee is pretty much around $4k. Is it possible for the price to go down, like do they have discount and such? Thanks for your time!

hi :-)

1. The 4K fenders are the upper tier models in the glass showroom. the rest of the fenders are not...

2. The prices on these guitars are LIST ie. before discount

3. If there is a sale, you should consider. selected model are subject to 50% off their LIST prices

hope this help...

bro sub: "not everyone knows what to do with it when it comes to re-stringing & tuning" most of my friends were in this category

i remember few days ago somebody commented about one of ur guitar with solitary humbucker, i guess this entry was especially for him, right?

he he... most probably a passer-by but i guess we need to accept the fact that others have different needs from us & they embrace different tools.
