Thoughts? Pain in the ass? Think they're worth it? It's priced fairly low.

Thoughts?...

It doesn't look complete to me . . . but I've NEVER seen one disassembled!

FWIW, I own 7 (or is it EIGHT?) of the Hipshot Products Drop-D extenders (in my case they're "drop-A" extenders . . . ).

nah there handy... really hand if your band plays regular and drop tune song also fun to mix things up a bit n find new shapes n riffs for different songs in standard tuning

I heard that when you drop to d with one the rest of the strings go out of tune

Hi.

Seems like a good price (at the moment).

I've been thinking to buy one, but as we have only one tune where I need to drop to Eb, there hasn't been the need...yet.

True if You have tremolo/whammy whatever You want to call it, or really bad and rubbery neck .

HA

I'm writing that one down, that's hilarious.

Indeed, I've never seen one disassembled before, and personally, I believe that's a real problem. Do not buy, buy directly from www.hipshotproducts.com
