Very interesting.

Good job !

I no longer miss the Collings I sold to help fund this...

Congrats!!!!! I remember you saying you may get a Duff. Amazing choice...

Well, if it makes you feel a little better, you don't need to bother the employees to play most of the instruments on the wall at Carter's or Gruhn's unless you're wanting to play Loars.

Last time...

I knew that Amanda couldn't stand it if I gave a dumb answer! Thanks Amanda.;)

Addendum: Okay, I just tried it. (I think the G string tuning is really AF#)
Ricky's cool notes seem to be on the...
