Wow...this is getting ridiculous. So from what I'm seeing, if you have 1 or more CLR's and you're happy with them keep it to yourself...because the couple of people who couldn't or wouldn't use them correctly or the folks in line to buy one are offended by your happiness...I'm still waiting too, I was just lucky enough to have several friends that bought from the original batch last year and even loaned me one so I could educate myself before buying. Even if posts were intended to be humorous I think "sad" is more accurate. If I bought something, didn't like it, returned it...end of story. Let it go. You got your money back minus shipping. Go be happy with whatever DOES work for you... and post in threads sharing YOUR enjoyment in a constructive manner. Seems to me like some people are miserable because others are happy. Spend the time playing your guitar. I'm sure everyone has plenty to learn and experiment with the Axe II and wouldn't that be time better spent? I really feel for Cliff and co. as well as Tom and Jay cuz I'm sure they've got better things to do than babysit/deal with the BS. Agree to disagree...move on.Peace.
