Captain Russ is so kind. Felt sorry for me gassing for a Guild guitar. Offered to let buy one of his babies. Well, I got it in and I LOVE THIS GUITAR. Out of the box, it sounded really good. I put new strings on it, even better. Needed some tender loving care, yes, and I shined her up, she is PURTY. I freakin' love guitars. And this one, it might be special to me, we'll see. I have been trying to finish writing an original song. I think I am very close, maybe this beauty will help me bring it home.

Here's to making real music guys. You guys are the best. Thanks Russ. Don, you gotta hear this baby!
