  11. Any person who makes guitars or really most anything that is made by hand, will never be able to maintain perfect fingernails, with them being beautifully painted. Cute attempt at trying to convince everyone that you actually make these guitars, but I'm calling you out. Whoever is actually making these guitars, is an excellent craftsman, but it ain't this chick.
