    Yeah, that's an interesting question. The venue, audio, and video presentation is so very cool, does the band take a back seat to all of it? Or do you just not worry about that and get lost in the show? Definitely a new perspective on things. Does it make a typical U2 stadium show seem...

    Ha, yes! But that's not the OP's photo. Green you say? Perhaps it's the carbon-neutral FM3. It has an intake for CO2 that converts it out and replaces it with a mild hallucinogen that makes you feel like your playing is next-level (approximately a 3-beer equivalent).

    The string retainer bar would only be a tuning issue when locking the nut, correct? Once it's locked (and tuned) the retainer bar couldn't be causing a follow-up tuning issue correct?
