Location: Jet City | An Adamas and a Contour bowl, 2 things that up until a couple of hours ago I've said I've never owned.
I can't believe I just did what I did.
TJ, I think it's time for us to start that little club we talked about.... GA |

Ovationluver is the devil. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It's late, but strings must come off, truss rod must be adjusted, shims must be removed, new strings must be put on, and then... I must play it.
It's like nothing I've ever heard before. I wouldn't say better, worse, louder, or softer. Right now it's a very new tone to my ears. I'll A/B against others this week and next for that matter at the NW thingy.
I got to get to work, it's going to be a late night. Pics tomorrow. |

Location: Jet City | 2 shims out, 1/4 turn on the rod, conditioned fretboard, a wipe down, and new strings. Played for a few minutes, but must get sleep now. I might just have to call in sick tomorrow. :rolleyes: |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Before joining the OFC, Damon was just another guitar guy with some relatively modest equipment, a camera around his neck, and a knack for taking outstanding photos. Now he is The Man Gone Wild! Yet another to go to the bandroom in flames. You will enjoy it, Sir! |

Tired today, guess it was about 3am when I called it quits. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Unfortunately, I'll have the dirty laundry I'm bringing back from a week in Charlotte. Maybe I'll rent a locker at the airport or pay the extra fee the airline will charge to ship 2 suitcases back with my wife. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was just concerned about me having to lug the big suitcase around. I'll get another T shirt when I get there, so I'd be fine with no luggage. |
