Yes.
I want to be "Captain ( Single Coil ) Miracle". The super hero who invents the guitar pickup that never needs replacing and will bring instant gratification to whosoever plays a guitar with this device fitted.
Never again will someone buy a guitar and ten minutes later be searching E-Bay for that elusive sound that Hank had at 10.15 a.m. on the 15th of April 1962.
The recipient will have a permanent beam on his, ( or her ), face knowing that the sound they have achieved is simply not to be surpassed.
Furthermore, I will invent the amplifier that sets itself up and sounds exactly like your favourite tune straight out of the box.
The driver who delivers it will smile and not be in a burning rush to shove a bit of card through your door telling you that you missed him and will have to make
a 120 mile round trip to collect it.
Pilgrims will travel in their hoards to Great Wyrley and pay homage to the holy shrine where the Hankies make er.....sounds.
Or, I suppose we could play a tune.
I quite like "Sylvia" by Focus.
To know and have known the love of a little dog is a truly wonderful thing.
