Plus the extra comfort of the large buttons, which help a bit when changing tunings during a gig.
I have a lot of gigs where there is no stage, and nowhere to stash a second guitar so I am getting a LOT faster at retuning while telling jokes or stories.
This one is sure a LOOKER
Carry on Sir, and thanks again for all the detailed info!!!

Thanks for commenting Paul, that makes sense that a larger button would help speed up tuning. If you are making big changes like going from standard tuning to DADGAD while performing I can see that being important. It makes me wonder what the ideal speed button would look like.
