Ah, ye olde Eats, Shoots and Leaves ethic.

The irregardlessness of this thread astounds me.

My tailpeices are still either skewed or centered, respective to the guitar I'm playing. And they still sound KICK ASS, regardless or irregardless (whichever is more appropriate) of the tailpeice, or this thread.

I know some people that get really irate about the word irregardless. They feel it's totally unexpectable.

I'd like to add that it's inexplicibly unexplainable at best, irregardless of the unexpectability...

Enough, Wilfred. You are starting to sound like G.W.B his self

You has misunderestimated our ability to send mexed missages in the internets. How is our children learning?

Hey, a fellow club member kindly pointed out to me that the tailpiece on my Orion is (almost?) perfectly centered.
Irregardless of the fact that... (OK, I won't go there)

Last night I got out my Aria RS850 - essentially an Alembic Series I Strat copy. Guess what? Asymmetrical tailpiece. It ain't just for Alembics anymore! Bill, tgo

Geez, Bill, isn't that how you can tell it's a copy? Those 70's dupes from Japan got every detail right...

I have to say that, since this thread has been around, I have yet to check to see if any of the tailpieces on my basses are centered.

Bill,

The Aria got it wrong, though-- it's moved to the bass side, while the Alembic predisposition is for the treble side.

this is almost perfect!

Well, tailpiece centering is one thing, but pickup script deviation is a much bigger problem in my book. Some people have told me that it has a lot to do with camera angles, but I'm not prepared to accept that just yet. I'll post my thoughts in a separate thread...

And they even misspelled Olympic! Sheeeesh!!!!

Bill, tgo

I want uniformity...same size screws for everything, same size strings, frets equidistant to each other and the whole guitar sawn from one block of wood..
I will then join Kraftwerk and become a robot

Kraftwerk? Now this whole damn thread has gone off center.
