So I saw these at Guitar Center yesterday

So, if we can exploit others' ignorance, it's OK?

OK? Hell, it's what drives the entire consumer-product economy!

 

[Danhedonia]

Yeah, well, I'm thinking that hasn't worked out so well for us.

If today is gross exaggeration day, sure.

 

[mongooz]

so apparently i'm stupid. how do those things go on and keep yer strap from popping off the strap button?

do you put your strap on the guitar regularly and then these washers over the button on top of the strap?

 

[vonbladet]

Does it work with regular Grolsch bottle caps?

[Help!I'maRock!]

$1 apiece is ludicrous. This is the stuff that makes me reaaaaaaaaaaaalllllly wonder what the margin is on that Johnny Marr Jaguar.

(and what keeps me from buying it)

Margin on accessories is significantly higher than on guitars.

 

[Danhedonia]

Gross exaggeration of what? It's overcharging. Corporate behavior has transformed to pure greed. Gordon Gekko really isn't a good role model. It's not like those are deliberately ornate or 'different' - they're a .12 item marked up to $1 by FMIC.

Yes, it works with regular Grolsch bottle caps. Works with regular washers, too (if you don't mind bad cosmetics).
