Chill out, Shakespeare. Who cares? I do. And completely unreasonable, really? Nah. I spent close to $8k on the thing and think it's well within reason that I expected to be the one that gets to burn it in. You'd be okay with a bunch of randoms getting their DNA all over your brand new custom made expensive shit for months, with you having no ability whatsoever to know what all could of happened? And please spare me "I'd never spend $8k on an amp" bs, which I sense is where your reply will go- it's a rhetorical question anyways. No, man, gear/instruments don't pick up some magical mojo or soul via the previous users- it just becomes used shit.
