I had heard of the super glue remedy before..  I'm willin'..
BGD..  I can't get a picture but I'll tell you, it seems my index finger is almost at the tip of the pick therefore hitting the strings alot..  and I realize this is the problem but its strange how it has recently just started happening.  I've been playing guitar for decades and now this is going on.  I've been playing thru it of course..  I just wanted to get some insight from others if they have had the same issue.  Appreciate all the input..  you folks are great.

Right on the tip of my index finger..  like a cut right across almost from under the nail.  It happened the first time about a year or so ago.  The other guitar player in the band said.. that is going to do that from now on.  And he was right!  Same place every time. Its just a drag especially when I play a couple times a week.  I just wanted to know if this is something other folks have run it to... 
thanks.

Thanks Toots..  probably right..  of course it seems in the winter its worse and I handle alot of paper at my job so perhaps all this combined just adds to the problem.  It is a nuisance though not to mention a tad painful.  Gives new meaning for me to..  "I played until my fingers bled"..     Thanks.

Pete... 
You had to say the Gibson J45..  I absolutely love that guitar.  I currently have a Martin HD28... and I adore it.  I play gigs often and it just cuts through and sounds so rich and warm..  but there's something about that Gibson..  I had the pleasure of test driving a 1951 vintage gibson at a music shop in Catonsville, MD..  it was sweet.. a little too much $$ for me but it was cool to try it out.  Bottom line..  get the Gibson.  Sooner than later... life is short.

Hey Crevs
I average about 1 - 2 gigs a week between 3 hour and 4 hour long.  Some tunes are right from memory but sometimes I do refer to a book.. glance it, then play it.  Often times its to get the lyric right..  our sets usually consist of about 12 - 15 tunes.  Good luck.

Congrats on your purchase..  I love the color too..

Yeah, kinda like that...  That is something isn't it..  gotta love Willie.

Hey David..  my thought is it really doesn't say much..  its the person's talent that speaks volumes..  someone can have an inexpensive guitar and make it sound like a million bucks cause they can play..  I'm not saying a top of the line Gibson or Martin, Taylor, etc won't make a difference sound wise and action wise though  - it will.  I, too always check out what guitar folks choose to buy..   Twenty guitars in 2 years..  wow.  Currently I have 8 guitars..  the Martin HD28 is my fave.  But I have a Godin, lower end  Art & Lutherie acoustic electric.  It is quite nice too.  Cedar with a cut away..  it has a nice brilliant sound..  good luck.
