Show me one person that doesn't work for, associated with or a general/basic twat affiliated with Gibson that is "abuzz".

Who has 100 guitars on the side of the stage with different tunings ready to go.  I don't even think someone like Sonic Youth or the Rolling Stones need, or do, that.

I guess.  

Basically.  If you can't tune it you shouldn't be playing it.  Any instrument, anywhere, anytime any weather conditions.
