I have been to several NAMM shows in recent years and it has always stunned me to ponder How many Thousands of guitars the world can actually absorb,

I might have room for a few more. I have my eye on a really nice Rickenbacker.

...and just when you think you've played some variations, you see a video of Justin Johnson playing a 3-string shovel:

First Fender acoustic I ever bought the neck broke while tuning. There was a knot in the heal that was an obvious manufacturing defect that should have been seen. They demanded I paid to have it repaired and ship it at my expense to and from the factory. Was going to cost as much as the guitar. Never again will I buy one of their garbage products. It just takes one issue to totally turn a fan of a company to one who despises them, me. Especially after their conspiring with Obama to take out Gibson.
