We’ve All Just Been Pwned! The Theorbo.

But...getting myself back to the video in my OP...

I do have to say the lady playing in the video, Elizabeth Kenny, is my new guitar hero.

Okay...I know it’s not a guitar, but still...

I really like the style of music she was playing and how fluidly she played...and on an instrument that appears to be rather unwieldy.

Kinda makes me feel like a putz!

She certainly seems to have a command of the instrument!!!!
 
And here's living proof that you don't have to be eating the microphone to make a great recording

I love to sing. Sadly I could eat a mic, have auto tune for dessert, and put Pavarotti in my trench coat and still would not produce a tone any sane person would want to listen to.

Did anyone get this?????
 
I set them up frequently for others and I will agree the tool is a Godsend for moving the saddles. I have tried - many times - to bond with a Floyd, but after many tries - including my custom built Ibanez Destroyer Replica - I just couldn't wait to get rid of it. While I admire the expressiveness that can come from the system, it doesn't work for me. I play very hard and I constantly push the guitar sharp with a Floyd. I also frequently bend one string quite dramatically, while fretting adjacent strings in a relaxed state. This always results in playing out of pitch.

I have also gotten quite fond of pulling any of my three guitars out of their case - my 2016 Gibson SG, my 2016 Gibson Les Paul and my Von Herndon Double Neck - and having them always in near perfect tune. Despite having a fantastic Charvel and a Schecter with Floyds on them, The tuning issues - especially complete and total loss of tuning in the event you break a string live - just made me hate them...


Here's my completed Ibanez Destroyer DT-555-FR Replica
