Tell me about it. I loved that thing. I needed money. Back in June 2002 I sold that guitar, my wireless unit and my Mesa 2:90. I made a nice profit on the guitar, but if I'd have hung onto it until now, I could've sold it for a lot more.

What's even more sad is that less than one month later, all that money from selling all that gear went straight to bills. I soon realized maybe I had too many bills

Ahh, that sucks, Vin. I can understand that, but man, too bad

Sometimes life... she is cruel, no? (We need a frenchman smoking a cigarette smiley)

Thanks man, but thankfully I'm way over that part of my life It's been good since about the beginning of '03 for me here

That was also my motivation for going back to school and it's why I'm busting myself in full time school / full time work right now.

Good for you, Vin!

(Of course, now I have the Tony the Tiger song in my head as a way to encourage you. "You'll show'em you're a tiger... show'em what you can do!" I'm the one nuckin' futz, I think )

oh totally

if all you're playing is powerchords, then it's all good. but if it's anything difficult, well, i'd have to hike things up mid-tune!

I adjust my height until i can do a trill on the low e string from the 12th to 17th fret comfortably. I wear it fairly high.
