If it's really labelled that to stop him from stepping on it because it puts the board or external unit into a program mode, *** isn't it just covered by some hard shell?

I'm sorely tempted to do a heist on his gear, especially his ES-E355 guitar (the white hollowbody).

No, no, no. That button initiates "activities" with and between GFs 1 & 2. You need to think more like a rock star

Give me his Farewell to Kings era live rig with the Gibson guitars, Hiwatt amps and echoplex, Roland chorus pedal, wah and some sort of distortion pedal. Pretty cool rig.

I'm also curious as to what this button does. Although it's probably some sort of joke.
