Back when many (if not most) of us were still in school, who would of thought that in the 'near' future we would: meet cyber friends around the globe receive wonderful gifts (Jerome's CDs) arrange/excecute a fond show of appreciation and then have a guitar personally escorted across oceans? What an awesome 'collection' of wonderful folk! | ||

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 3145 Location: Marlton, NJ | Good news and bad news. The good news: Jerome's guitar made to my home in NJ 100% safe and sound. I walked on to the plane with it, stuck it in the overhead and that was the end of it. The only issue was one bitchy american woman who said "THAT's carry on luggage?". I had many replies in head, none of which I let out. Depending upon my work schedule and the weather, I will plan the next leg of the trip within the next week or two - the drive up to Connecticut - about a 4 hour drive. The bad news: when I got home and came up to my office/music room, I immediately noticed that my '05 collectors had suffered the dreaded "bridge pop". As those who have suffered through this before know, it is VERY disturbing! It looks like there will be two guitars making the trip to the mothership. It's not under warranty so it double-sucks! More to come... | ||

I did get an invitation from Guigite to visit him - he lives in the same region I was travelling to for work. I didn't have enough time this trip, but will make the time next time I go. | ||
