I... I even play it by the bridge sometimes (I'm actually not trolling... I like gypsy jazz guitar tone, too, and that's way brighter and dryer than my pressed archtop... which is driest and brightest by the bridge, if somewhat thin sounding there).
Oh well. Sometimes I like autotune too, if it's used as a creative effect. If it's obviously remedial, or trying to give the artist free cred by sounding like some played out trend, then no thanks on the autotune.
