Lovely. I found that the volume was a bit higher and the lows louder though not that different. The thing I like is the versatility. You will not be disappointed.

Isn't that what you were wearing at the Waffle House? :D

It's not really yucky. Decide for yourself.

Not sure exactly. Mark has plans to take over his daughter's house up at the UP -- in July?

And -- yes, but you don't have to play it :)

Just found out last night that my daughter has a lead on a summer job--in Quebec. Although I'd love to use her house for a party this summer, I'd rather see her get the job. Maybe no PNW gathering there, but there are plenty of other available places. I'll be up there the first weekend of May, staying close to where gh1 and sligoman live. Maybe I'll find some time between graduation ceremonies to get in touch. You could all come over and play for her graduation party on May 3.

Here we Go!




And LOOK! No Snot Blob! :p



And I'm not sure... But I think the stick-on epaulets are thicker than the top material.
Like others have said, It's like a drum-head!

OMA, is the dark part of that Viper's burst as red as it looks in the picture? Mine's much different. It's purt near black on the edges.

So MIB, are you planning on visiting next week?

Back to seeking an Edjumakation... :confused:

What is that fretboard made outta? Walnut?
Any care and feeding tips of that kind of fretboard that anyone can recommend?
What should I use, or more importantly what Shouldn't I use to clean the top?
[It has sludge or maybe human-oil around the bridge and where people rest their pinky]
Should I toss a Herco humidifier can into the case, at least for the fretboard?
Any other pointers?

It's resin impregnated walnut, which I guess means they've filled it up with some liquid gunk that goes nice and hard. Otherwise you'd wear through the fretboard in a year or so. I just use mineral oil.

The top is tough as nails, it's just a matter of staying away from harsh abrasives or something that will leave a residue. Mildly damp cloth seems to be the favourite, a Mr Big t-shirt for the ultimate in cool.

Adamas will be more resistant to humidity variation, but it's good to keep it in the right range. Where I live never gets too dry so it's not a worry.
