This is a delicate topic right now and the slogan you put forward doesn't sound like its goal is increased understanding. Did you mean it as a slam to the people who tweak with specific goals in mind? Or to the mythical guitarist who uses equipment to compensate for a lack of musicality? If the former, then the slogan is misdirected. If the latter, where is the target to whom the barb is directed? Why pick on them? Will they read your slogan? Will they act on it? I don't see anyone benefiting from this barb. What's the positive side of this slogan? What are you trying to remedy? Or is it just criticism for its own sake?

He's talking about the guys who want to sound just like SRV, Hendrix or nowadays it's Brad Paisley. That's a different subject.
