My God. I am a guitarist and I never really took the time to appreciate how these things work. I had no idea these were made like this. Just incredible.

These things are so terrifying. I'm a fair-to-middling slide guitar (and lap steel) player and I wouldn't even get near one of these mechanical monsters. The thought of mashing down a pedal and having my tuning change underneath me vertigo.
