Well, duh! What was he thinking? With a guitar like that, you're only supposed to hang it on the wall of your properly humidified and temperature controlled room, show it to your friends (but don't let them touch it - can't have any marks on it!), dust it weekly with a virgin baby diaper, and discuss the merits of its tone and dynamics whilst knitting doilies around the stove.
P.S. Nice looking guitars, TJ. I do believe Taylors makes some nice guitars. But you really have to hunt for the ones with the soul. Hope you've got a couple that have it in spades. |
