Actually in all seriousness, I wouldn't be without that spider for anything, it has performed superior in all aspects, and is way easier to adjust than anything else. But yes I agree it does look scary

Oh, and mine is no mere 12" scope, it is a 12.5", most importantly.

Ooooh a touchy guitar player with a sense of inadequacy

I have a 6" which is apparently average ...for a Starfire APO

Hey I recon the guitar string idea is great but yes, probably looks a little daunting for people who like more standard conservative approaches
