Ibanez has been using that control layout on and off since 1994...
It’s perpetually… “don’t build the torment nexus device…do not touch hot stove…do not play on railroad tracks…do not start a Middle East war” etc & this whole group of fucking babies think the laws of physics don’t apply to them because somehow their narcissistic egos have magic gravitational vibes
We don't tell reactionaries and billionaires to get a real job enough.
Guitar of the Day
So basically, they want to collapse the state into anarchy like Afghanistan, Syria, or Somalia. Great strategy guys.
*not* guitar(s) of the day, just my two most recent personal guitar acquisitions
