Location: south east Michigan | Guitarzannie... I know you meant well but I think the last thing a man wants to be described as is... "harmless".
Call us "polite", "interesting", or even "gentleman-like". But never "harmless".
The only thing worse would be to use the term - totally harmless. |

The Collector's put a small dent into my emergency guitar fund, but dents can be fixed and repaired again and again!
Also, what is cool about this place is that I've gotten invites to go to gatherings, etc. I'm still thinking about seeing if we could have a NY gathering.

Oh well, you play the hand you're dealt I guess.

Now being called totally useless is another thing! :D

kinda goes with the hat
kinda round in the middle
but it aint even that

it's nothing you can smell

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I have guitars from the Pacific Northwest, Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida, as well as some of the best big brothers a girl could ever hope to have, and a very, very dear sister from South Dakota whom I would never have "met" without the Board. (Aside: hmmm...the guitars are more well-travelled than I am.....)
There's just something about this place that is beyond words, and I mean that in the best way possible. As a card I once got said, "Whenever I think of you, my heart smiles."

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | There are good and bad sides to everything (just bear with me: I'm going somewhere with this):
The "Bad" side: I am out of room for storing guitars...when I started this I had maybe 5 guitars of different makes and at the time: I had no Ovation as I had sold them all several years prior to bring my bride here from the Former Soviet Union...now I have (on last count) 26 guitars and at least that many have been sold to make way for newer more desired ones: spelled GAS...but my kids are/will be grateful for the legacy in the future...
The "Good" side: What isn't? I have met some fabulous friends and played some fabulous guitars...developed my playing again and even worked on songwriting skills and received encouragement that is both appreciated and needed...as well as attended some world class guitar jams and clinics and met some incredible guitarists and even one really great former gas station worker...we have been able to do some really cool beneath the radar projects to put guitars into the hands of those who are deserving or just need a hand up...I could go on and on for the good...because it really is all good!
What other forum or communication device these days unites persons from all over the globe and keeps us united through a common shared love of all things guitars....I don’t know of a single one quite like this group...I'm proud to be a part....
