My Encounter with Paul Reed Smith & Brian Ewald

RVA so are they saying headstockless guitars sound like crap? I have only made it to page 2.
Sort of...
These gadgets have been around since the 80s. Groove Tubes was the original maker of the Fat Finger. Fender bought Groove Tubes. Fender now sells the $20 Fat Finger:

And NO… I wouldn't buy them or use them. Even if they were free!
I want one for my SG...….(no not really)
 
He is certainly a strange fellow, he has done an excellent job and his guitars are excellent (although not my thing, I haven't tried many to be fair), but he is a strange fellow - I certainly wouldn't get worried about upsetting him because he's that kinda fellow; his ego is out of control although to be fair to him with the stuff he has achieved with his company, he has good reason. But, that's enough about Ray, let's talk about Paul... :D

No, RVA, don't worry about a strange conversation with that fella, he is talented and achieves, but I doubt he has many normal conversations.

&, I'm not fond of grovers either; ugly, heavy and clunky looking to my mind - much prefer a Gotoh or Schaller or even the good old Kluson style (even the ones made by Grover).
 
I love Grover!!

Yeah backstory sounds like Grover pissed in Paul's corn flakes at some point.
