These are all works of art, and so while I can't afford any of them any more I still wonder how to justify such gleaming items that are literally going to get covered in crap on a daily basis and only have one function for us and that is to make a nice sound. I'm not sure they have to polished within an inch of its life which can't be seen and must put up the price to stupid numbers. Shiny tips are one thing, but a gleaming box? Why stop there? Let's have maybe a chromed gearbox or prop shaft perhaps? Is it me?
