Colder than a welldigger's butt around here in the past 24 hours. Got another month til the solstice, anyway. I guess my recourse is playing the new critter a lot, huh? Keep you all posted, Chris | ||

I couldn't be happier if I was twins! It is spectacular. The top is perfectly matched, the neck is fast and smooth, the action & intonation are probably more than I can reasonably appreciate ("pearls before swine.."), A-bracing, AND a Jenn-U-Wine "Glen Campbell" trussrod cover!! (no, Bradley, get your own!) Apparently the crew-signed label was a non-starter. Oh well, I'm still stoked like a my boiler's gonna bust! This is too cool for school. All you guys are great, the Mothership Crew is great, God is in His Heaven, and I'm a pig in slop. I promise to get some pictures done soon. Bear with me. YIPPEE, YIPPEE, YAHOO!!!!!!!!!! Later, gaters, Chris | ||

I would name that GC "Lara", and, of course, don't go wandering around in blizzards. Those older guitars have a irresistable aura. Enjoy, Enjoy! Bailey | ||

Joined: November 2002 Posts: 3603 Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Paul, I was a bit reticent to reveal this; I wet my pants! Oh yeah, Fellow Travelers, I bought a nice, used case for it. Y'know, the old brown ones that can survive nuclear holocaust, and airport baggage gorillas. I may well be crazy, but not stupid. As for "Lara"; thanks for the suggestion, Bradley, but, as you recall, this critter has muy grande cajones (probably even bigger now!). Might be a case of "A Boy Named Sue", or something. | ||

Joined: November 2002 Posts: 3603 Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | OK, Guys, for what it's worth; I posted two images of the reburbished critter. The pictures, with a webcam, really suck, but here's proof I'm not a total "whack job". I did actually get the critter fixed. I promise to get some better images posted when the digital camera is available (my Spousal Unit is a rubber-stamper, and takes pictures of EVERYTHING!!!!) In the meantime, I may be found touching my guitar in very evocative ways- don't look! Chris | ||
