One rule of thumb is not to get your knickers bunched up...this is a good board, many become friends. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | One small problem. When you joined earlier today from Australia nobody in the rest of the world was awake to welcome you except for some IT helpdesk in India or the Nike slave labor factory in China. Don't take it personally. Some may have been offended by your screen name of "hero". Many believe there is only one hero and that is the lord jesus christ. Welcome to a most entertaining club.

I don't pretend to try and understand it - I have a good buddy that is an AMAZING lead guitarist, and he sucks as bad as I do at this game...it's like the great equalizer.
hero, consider welcome extended - if Tuppy makes a bad joke around you, you're just fine. ;) |

By the way, anything, and I mean anything, you want to know about guitars of any kind can be found here. Just don't listen to advice I give and you'll be ok. (except for this advice) ;) |

Unless someone first spots something in your post that triggers somethingin their mind - then the thread takes on a whole new direction. Just hang on and enjoy the ride. Eventually, your question MAY be answered.

Location: Orange County, California | About Tupperware: He's got to be coming to grips with the falling amount of porn on Myspace and the fact that Jesus is often listed as one of so, so many ultra-hot chick's "heroes". Dave, just change your display name to something "disciple-esque", and tell them you know Jesus (he's the guy who washes you car right?) :p :D :p :D
Paul, You already met a couple of other Ozzies on here. You guys should be able to easily convince the entire country that Ovations are the best guitars, or at least have an OFC down-under get together. |

Someone better come on line and welcome me or there's gonna be trouble! I'm gonna sit right here at my keyboard and wait... And it better be a NICE one too, or I'm gonna go all Battlestar Galactica on the lot of you!!!!! |

Don't fret that too much...I got the same criticism when I first got here, though I really brought it on myself by being vocally such a SSB guy. Fortunately for me, I'm so ornery I just ask for it, so I can't ever really complain.
Granted, I love the contour bodies too, and a deep-body 12-fret slothead Adamas is second to none, but I still grab a SSB for stage stuff as my first choice.
