An Adamas and a Contour bowl, 2 things that up until a couple of hours ago I've said I've never owned.

I can't believe I just did what I did.

TJ, I think it's time for us to start that little club we talked about.... GA

Yes, No, No.

Ovationluver is the devil. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It's late, but strings must come off, truss rod must be adjusted, shims must be removed, new strings must be put on, and then... I must play it.

It's like nothing I've ever heard before. I wouldn't say better, worse, louder, or softer. Right now it's a very new tone to my ears. I'll A/B against others this week and next for that matter at the NW thingy.

I got to get to work, it's going to be a late night. Pics tomorrow.

Well Joe's close by. All it took was him getting it in my hands. It had me at hello.

2 shims out, 1/4 turn on the rod, conditioned fretboard, a wipe down, and new strings. Played for a few minutes, but must get sleep now. I might just have to call in sick tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Before joining the OFC, Damon was just another guitar guy with some relatively modest equipment, a camera around his neck, and a knack for taking outstanding photos. Now he is The Man Gone Wild! Yet another to go to the bandroom in flames. You will enjoy it, Sir!

I am so riding on his roof to the NW Gathering. I don't belong in the same vehicle with all those guitars.

I suggest packing light.

Tired today, guess it was about 3am when I called it quits.

Unfortunately, I'll have the dirty laundry I'm bringing back from a week in Charlotte. Maybe I'll rent a locker at the airport or pay the extra fee the airline will charge to ship 2 suitcases back with my wife.

We'll fit you in, don't worry. I'm just giving you a hard time. Don't stress. It's a Trailblazer extended length, it fits a bunch.

I was just concerned about me having to lug the big suitcase around. I'll get another T shirt when I get there, so I'd be fine with no luggage.
