    Brand loyalty

    I use it. Like, ok I got a Fender. Ones enough. Next, I thought I'd try a Guild. Ok, cool. I don't have a Gibson. Maybe I'll look for one of those next. Or what about those Musicman's? Or I'll find a G&L for sure. Or a, or a, or a.... Long road with many turns. Gotta keep your options open

    Luthier with terrible attitude

    You were literally minding someone else's business. I don't think there is a respectful way to do that

    Going back to (music) school at an older age REBOOT

    Okay. I'll go. You're 46 and you're posting on a website asking what you should be when you grow up? How about, why don't I run off and join the circus? The only bad decision is no decision.

    How do you nicely encourage a bandmate to get into theatrics?

Very multi-dimentional-thick sound. You might want to try 'em. Almost the...
