Hi ya Fire art. You mentioned that you did a nut and bridge job. Did you do a truss rod adjustment? A trip to a good Luthier just might help you decide what to do or just let him/her do a proper set up on it. I did a set up on a cheap beater guitar, it turned out pretty well and I had fun learning how to do it. Eventually I traded it for a yamaha 12er as I really did'nt need two six string guitars.

Fire art, all who play guitar must learn to live with G.A.S., it will never go away.

Good one Z, my wife is wondering why I'm sittin here laughing my butt off. wish you could see the look on her face.

It is so heartbreaking, I pray that she is at peace now. The daily struggle to cope with a mental illness can be so overwelming. Very little is known about brain chemistry. The medical community prescribes drugs, but for some the "cure" is never found as the cause cannot be correctly diagnosed. What may work for one person may not work for another, treatment is mostly trial and error. Ninety five percent of those who suffer from a mental illnes may respond to conventional treatment, but for those five percent who do not, the struggle to cope is unbearable.

1. I use a pick for strumming and flat picking 90% and finger pick 10% of the time.

2. I'll play over the sound hole most of the time. Sometimes I play up towards the neck or down towards the bridge to get the sound I want.

3. Yea, fret wear is normal. Re-fretting is possible.

4. Never experienced a packaging problem.

Great song. My wife and I were hippies and in our hearts always will be, we listened and were reminded of those years of our youth. Many memories, some good, some not so good. Peace and love to ya man.

No major problems here in western Virginia. We got a little bit of snow and rain. More snow is predicted for tonight with very low temps. Prayers going out for those who suffered losses due to this storm.
