[yea, that was me attempting polite ;)]
Anyone that thinks that piece of steel, a counterpart of the original $8.99 [at current market] 'actual' implementation / part, [not withstanding the difference in pickup orientation] has more money than sense IMO. So being I do not, I am certainly short on that prospective, especially lately. Short? I meant money,  and my own prospective is that I in fact have sense as it pertains to the issue of a Tele bridge on both a builder and player level.
I surely understand what 'best' means in pretty much any context. I have to say your reply / reiteration 'it simply being the best' without addressing an obvious quest/requests for an opinion of which aspects may be considered as contributing to it superiority leaves me unconvinced.
Prospective = what you think/believe/ have convinced yourself  |
Other players with as much experience (or more) than you, feel differently about a piece of steel. Their experiences lead them to believe something else. So who's right?
I would believe that you're right if you're doing the correct thing for yourself. So there's really no place for belittling comments about "Fools" and their money IMO. The "Little more than" statement doesn't minimize your experience and your belief system at all. It simply points out that now matter what your personal experience is, in the end it's just an opinion. Of course, in your case it is an experienced opinion that has value.
I guess I have to say that I haven't been a fan of the tone of your posts on this subject. A bit harsh with a fair amount of derision. That doesn't mean that I think you're a bad guy, it's just not hitting my ear well.
There have been many posts by players that have used Glendale products that include detailed reports on tonal differences once changes were made. I have reasons for feeling that these products are the best for me, and if I felt like going in to a long review I would share them. I'd rather not do that right now.
I think you're using prospective wrong.
Take care.
