Ilmeisesti joku ei osaa jotain. ...
 
Koitahan nyt Spede ymmärtää ettei tässä ole pelkästään kyse siitä että kaikki ei ole yhtä hirvittävän mainioita bendaamaan kuin sinä. Tässä tulee fysiikan lait vastaan...
 
Tässä erään hyvin kuuluisan kitararakentajan näkemys asiasta:
 
"The Fender necks became very popular in the early days because of the radically radiused arch of the fingerboard. In those days the highly curved fingerboards were tapered sections of a cylinder and the many young rock and rollers, who were often in possession of limited technical skills, found the radical arch very very easy to barre for their insecure fingers. Early rock and roll required playing mainly a few chords in the low-numbered positions. After Chuck Berry, musicians began exploring arpeggion in the high-numbered positions near the body, and lead players found themselves not only playing up there 90% of the time, but also "bending" the strings--pushing them up towards the centerline of the neck to create one or two-step glissando effects-- once or twice per measure. That, in conjunction with the radical arch, and a frenzied low-action obsession, resulted in a train wreck: Every time they tried to bend the string, they would run into the hump of the fretboard and choke out. Then, makers discovered the virtue of fingerboards that were tapered sections of a cone.
Indeed, most electric guitar fingerboards are "compound radiused" nowadays."
