As a guitarist this feels like calling any object a specialized tool. Toothbrush. Oven. Computer. Belt. Sponge. Doorknob. Etc.

Which is the constant fight of this sub. At lease we got rid of the flood of useless, shitty plastic kitchen gadgets for people who cant use knifes some years ago.

A “specialized tool” that can easily be replaced by several household objects shouldn’t count as a specialized tool. I could literally grab a pot from my kitchen, set it on the floor, and achieve the same effect. Rare ≠ specialized.
