Yeah I fully understand your sentiment there which is why I own a Les Paul and play quite badly but still play. I put it through valves of course so that I get that glorious 70's rock sound but I also program loads of techno music in FL Studio 12 as well. On top of that I love analogue synthesisers. I guess in truly technical terms it is not the music I am obsessed with but the sound of the instruments. It's just that noise, I just love it.
