Murph Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 If you use it too much, chicks will think you're weird and you'll never get the chance to reproduce. But only in California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Or maybe there are many cases of people who like to put trem arms in places they shouldnt .. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual raw chemicals, yes of course and certain other stuff.. But a whammy bar... Lol I just thought it was amusing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 This is a California law, and according to the brainiacs I. Sacramento, everything must have a cancer warning on it. They probably get royalties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearbasher Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I bought a quartz wall clock that has a Proposition 65 warning label on it. So, telling time will give me cancer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Well I have seen the cancer warning labels from Cal on other packaging. But look at the pearlescent binding Rabs has on his first trem guitar. then not to overlook the 5 piece set neck what a creation to try out your first trem on.
