Well, unk, there ya go.
Since dunk didn't give the exact post from which he took your alleged quote, how could I check the veracity thereof? That's why I qualified my statements like I did.
Sorry if you took exception, certainly there was no offense intended.
And seeing your sentence in context, I'd say that yes, "it is important for things to perform at the highest possible level." But I'd further qualify that by adding "..... within their design parameters and constraints".
But indeed, I took his mis-quote a step sideways with an intentional play on words. I'd be surprised if you missed the subtle cue there, my friend. ;D

Sumgai, obviously we have different styles, and modes of operation. Since dunk didn't give the exact post from which he took your alleged quote, how could I check the veracity thereof? i prefer to do the homework and read back through the thread, rather than make accusations based on second-hand info. "it is important for things to perform at the highest possible level." But I'd further qualify that by adding "..... within their design parameters and constraints".
that's a reasonable point of view. however, my intent, when i made that statement, was also that the design of things be conducive to the highest possible level of performance and functionality. Falke's use of my quote, to support his point about the neck joint, was not entirely accurate, but certainly was reasonable. if an alternate style of neck joint allows him to play, in his own style, more effectively, then it could be seen as "high performance". i won't disagree with that line of thought. unk

don't be p d so fast, i wasn't that serious. but to explain to sumgai why i am playing like i am playing: holding my hand classical style gives me cramps because i have to bend my wrist and my palm quite hard. i rather bend my fingers. i am not meant to be a musician by nature lacking fine motor skills, voice, pitch hearing and being a bit anatomically challenged. keeping on playing guitar is just being bullheaded of me.

unk, It sure has taken us a number of postings to get to this point, eh? I respectfully submit that when I chose to not "do my homework", it was because I don't know that the quote in question came from the same thread. I suppose I could have used the Search function, but we all know how ineffectual ProBoard's implementation of that is. Less than worthless, to be sure. So castigate me if you wish, and call it a style (failing to look back), but I really was under the impression that the quote could have come from anywhere on the entire forum, and saw no reason to go any further. Sorry 'bout that. You've now expanded your original intent to the point where I fully agree with your sentiments, and pretty much with dunk's use of them in quoting them back to you. And I think you'll see my point in my original "unk blaster" post ( ), that the guitar does not perform, it merely allows a player to perform - hopefully at his/her highest level. I needn't repeat my earlier feelings on that topic, I'm sure. Ah, such drama on a rainy Wednesday morning. Did I mention that I live in the Rain Capitol of the Solar System? tacobobble is next door, so he's probably soaked about now, too. Hey, Bob, got yer Mae West on? ;D sumgai

don't be pd so fast, i wasn't that serious. .... if that was for my benefit, don't worry, i wasn't. i thought the way you tryed to use my words to support your point was cute.

I know I'm a little late on this particular thread, but I've always enjoyed the "locking" aspect on the Floyd guitars I've owned, even if I never used and hated the Floyd itself. My ideal instrument would have locking saddles and nut, and fine tuners, but be a hardtail.
Imagine the tuning stability on -that!- =D
