They also come in real handy if you play with a female singer who likes to transpose keys. Or, if you just want to explore some different tonalities.

Do you have a reasoning for them being 'lame?'
They're a tool that can be used to expand the tonal palette of a guitar, much like a slide, Ebow, or any other accessory. Yes, some people use them to play songs in different keys easier - whatever works for them. For me, I use them from time to time to come up with different voicings/arrangement in a band setting, so I'm not always playing in the same chordal position/timbre as our singer's guitar playing.
I forgive you for having yours.Quote:
