Good work... but I think you'd need a DiMarzio Samantha... for Eric Clapton's famous 'woman tone'
Just look at a picture of Chuck Berry doing his 'duck walk'… which is the front?
Leo wasn't a musician, and was confused as to the two terms.

"We don't actually own any of this gear - we're just looking after it for the next Fretboarder."
Oxford online dictionary says... Vibrato = A rapid, slight variation in pitch....
Anyway... no matter... we know what Leo meant. So it's all good.
Yep.... I've always regarded 1st E string to be the thin one. I think some string packs are labelled that way as well.
If someone wanted to be a bit obtuse... they could say the lower E is first... as you encounter it first as you're moving up the musical stave. Man alive... this entire language thing is a total minefield. :-)
Let's start again with a decimal system e.g. 10 notes per octave, which would become a decave of course.
Or if you're driving the wrong way down the motorway.
Genius idea.
I'll have 10 kg of your finest tunes, please.
Why on earth would you go for front and back anyway. Neck and Bridge describe them much more accurately.
@professorben Why's that?
Jazzers/old dudes often call the neck pickup the bass pickup. The bridge pickup is then the treble pickup. I think PRS still uses this nomenclature. Obviously, one could then be confused with pickups for a bass guitar, but to a good extent I think this naming system makes musical sense.
As does calling the treble E string the "high" or "top" E. Higher in pitch.
Anyway, there have been so many great players whose lowest-pitch string was closest to the floor in playing position.

As you were.
Holly always speaks in a droll, slightly monotonous, and quiet voice, even when sounding alarms, which consist of himself speaking simply "Ding-dong. There's an emergency going on. (pauses) It's still going on." and repeating as much. He often greets the crew with "All right dudes?"
Among his achievements was the invention of Hol Rock,[4] where he decimalised music (having ten notesinstead of eight — although he admits that this would result in "piano keyboards being the width of a zebra crossing, and women being banned from playing the cello"). He also wrote an A-Z guide of the Universe.
@professorben.... OK... put the Red Dwarf box set down... and slowly walk away from it.... step out into the daylight and take a few deep breaths... feel all that real life coursing through your veins. Give it time and you'll even learn to love your inner Telecaster.
