Not quite two years ago, I came to this site looking for information on a Korean Balladeer that I was looking at...

So I started out with this little solid top import, but it is long-gone now... (and I miss it)


Instead, I got this...


And it was hard to get all these into one photo. And these are just the O's.
(Small place I got!)

So the warning is... Hang On To Your Wallet! :D

Congrats Arthur - why it seems like just a couple of years since you joined!

0 posts = 1 O
3000 posts = 10 Os
6000 posts = Do The Math.

Time to quit Art while you can still get in the door.

It's worth noting the keys hanging on the doorknob, presumably so you won't forget them when you leave. Very clever.

You know, I was thinking about this very subject, last night. When I came to this board, I had a 1537, an Adamas I 12 string and a 1763 (deep bowl classical). Now, there are guitars all over the house.

Sometimes I think it would be good to just have the basic 3 again......

Yeah, but which ones do you sell? I've already gotten rid of all the Celebrity's.
And every time I think of selling one cuz I haven't been playing it, I dig it out to take pictures... Then I play it awhile... Then I say to myself,
"This is a Nice guitar! I will never get what it is worth... screwwitt, I'll just keep it!"

Ah, Damon... You Do! And you Do!

But I gotta get my post count up since they are gonna issue samples of the New iDea pre-amp according to post count...
Cuz I sure cannot afford to buy one.
[and I definitely could use the lessons and the built-in accompaniment]

I only own 7 roundbacks Sir. You have 10 up above in that picture there. You're much sicker than I. Nearly 50% more.

I have posted a pic to show-off a new guitar, and have people compliment my bedspread... (it is a nice quilt) I have learned not to leave any socks lying around in the photos, be careful about the books you leave out, what's on TV, move the trash-can and rolling papers...

Yeah,and Dweezil, that is Vitamin E crap for my tender widdle fingers.
But I guess I could put it in the microwave for the hot oil treatment. :p

You do a better job staging the pics than I do, Art. One of the worst guitar pics I ever saw was taken by the guy who sold me my 99C for ebay. Leaning up against a coatrack with a dresser drawer open and a bunch of dirty clothes laying around. Then in the ad he said he really needed the money. He gave me a great deal after nobody bid on ebay, but it took me awhile to get the smell out of the guitar.

Congrats? Arfa.

You've tripled my posting rate, and I think I spend too much time here with an average of 500 a year!

No... actually, I KNOW I spend too much time here.

And I'm being VERY restrained. Joined with 2 O's en route, still got the same 2 O's. (AJ's UKII don't count - it's a loaner :( )

Yeah, I just have no Life!

Also I live in a studio Apt. and my TV, Stereo, Computers and Guitars are all in the same room.
If I ever move to a real apartment/house with the TV and computer and guitars is separate places...

Naw, that ain't happenin'! :D
