If the OP's setup was true, then 8-string guitars would be the norm, 6-string guitars would be passe.
Horses for courses. We can have all the tools and use the right ones for the right jobs.
I'll never understand the 'this way or NOTHING' sort of thinking that...
DO NOT use TGP to stage vendettas or to dox people. Suspensions and bans will result. No matter how mad you are, no matter how right you are - if you break the rules of the site you will be held accountable. Being angry and righteous does not give free rein to circumvent the rules of the page...
