Location: San Marcos, CA | Hey, my name is Thomas. I'm a new fan of Ovations. I was recently given an older Celebrity from a dear friend of mine. I've tried guitars before (as well as other instruments), but I've never felt the spark I felt when I first held this guitar. I have a new love of my life, second only to my wife and kids.
Now I'm taking guitar lessons at the local college. I can't read or play, but I'm learning, and having a blast doing it. I just wish I was 12 year younger. lol |

I have no desire to be younger myself, but on weak days I wish my wife was 12 years younger....

Location: Southern California | Hey, Thomas. Welcome to the wonderful world of O's! And by the way, age is irrelevant: it's never to late to start playing guitar :D
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: guitar playing is addictive, especially on an Ovation. (No worries, your fingertips will tell you when it's time to seek an intervention!)
Nice to have a neighbor in the OFC... I'm in O/Side. :cool: |

Location: San Marcos, CA | he's a really useful engine... oops wrong Thomas lol!! I know that Thomas. My kids used to be into him too. They're more into Blue's Clues. I'm a huge fan of Steve. After he quit, he started writing rock music. I've met him twice. He's a cool guy.

SWEET! maybe when I get better, we can jam.
And yeah, my fingers are just getting over the pain stage, and into the calous stage. Unfortunately, I can't grow my fingernails out, I have paper-thin nails that tear when they get too long. The tear usually gets into the quick. So I have to keep them short.
I had a girlfriend who used a nail strengthener, but it was too ... obvious. I'm not into lookin' all purty. |

If I knew how to do a quote, I would quote this from SteveChapman. It describes my household. |

I do have a question. The guy who owned the guitar (I call her Celest btw) before me scratched the hell out of the surfece. He is more of an ameture than even I am. he didn't use a pick guard and hammerd it nearly to death. What is the best way to buff those out? Do I need to have her fully resurfaced?
If so, is there a way I can do it myself. I'm low on moolah, and can't afford a professional.
I know, "very carefully"; I've heard that one, but I thought I'd ask. |
