Well, allright now. I did it. I bought one. Found something that fit the bill and that was in my price range and I snagged it. When I'm in acquisition mode, I don't hesitate to pull the trigger, that's for sure. Been tending towards the smaller bodied guitars as of late, and this one here fits the bill. And the price? You think money means much to someone in my position? Hardly. Why, I could light my cigars with $150 bills, so you think I hesitate to drop that much on such a high end item? Hardly. Soon it will arrive from its prestigious mail-order residence and I will begin the subtle process of custom tweaking the guitar to fit my own unique style of playing; perhaps a bone saddle, fossilized ivory bridge pins, a repro vintage pickguard and tuner combination. Before too long the stuff I add will be worth more than the guitar! But when I get it all dialed in, and I will get it dialed in, then it will truly be an instrument worthy of inclusion in my select stable of fine luthierial creations. And of course, I will post step by step updates as this process unfolds here in the nerve center of my crumbling little empire.

be good.
