Ill see what my spring time off is like (I may not have any days left IDK) and what kind of budget I have by then.  Really want to come again!  I miss you and Z and the rest of the gang.

.  He is HQed out of North Carolina these days.  LOLOL If your NASCAR, even odds are youhave to be, or VA and Tenn.   

I n that note, one of the most famous race car builders in NASCAR -  BANJO MATTHEWS -  had his shop about 6 miles from my house. and My dad performed the Funeral at his church.  and a line a mile or so long of teeam trailers were there to pay respects.  pretty cool,

American Idol winner Casey James from Asheville NC,  I know there are afew others but cant remember at this stage.

EASY! DITTO ON WHAT EVERYONE SAID!

I am in the "Does it feel, sound, and play good?" category. Not even worried about what kind of wood.

Just this past weekend while I was waiting for my sons drum lesson to be over, I wandered into the Acoustic room.  Although I am not a classical player, I have a sound and feel that is my own and I only know it when  I play a guitar.  That being said, I picked up a mid priced Martin (the $700 range) and played it.  Once again I have to say,, not a fan, was not inspired.  walked to the other side of the room and picked up a $300 Fender with cutaway, BOOM it had the tone and the action was where I liked it.

So as is with Beer and Coffee, Its all up to your own taste

Cheers!

Hey, on FB check out Guitar Zoom community.  it s about like Chordie, people are respectful and also a ton of great info.

I dont even pay attention to the banners any more.  The people here are great, and as mentioned, unlike UG you dont have a bunch of immature adult children and children being keybd warriors to get their rocks off.  Along with Zurf, I was in a bad place at the same time he was.  the people who helped him out also helped me out and I was able to see my chordie family.  So come on back in, get used to the changes, and get to know us.
Cheers, Beamer AKA "THE METALIZER"

Russ I have a option for you for after you fix the damage.  Ceramic Coat it. you will have a ton of gloss and a 9Hdurable protection coat.  Look at this stuff.

This all refers to auto paint, but clear coats on guitars are mostly Poly based now days or a heavy lacquer, so it should work, and doing it by hand will still work machine instructions are for removing defects, but ceramics is the way to go nowdays.

hope this helps,
