Bollocks! I replied to your message, but on my own page, so of course you wouldn't see it - I make that mistake sometimes - anyway, sorry for the delay, here's what I wrote:

Hey, being busy with work and family is great! You're a lucky man. Did miss you around here, though. And at the little guitar show this last weekend! Was hoping to meet with you and a few others - but I'll bet you'll be there with LMG in November!

Interesting about the bridge. I love any wraparound bridge - PRS, Gibson, both great sounding parts I think - my dream guitar'd be a '54 Gibson LP goldtop (though if offered one in trade for my R9, I'd have to play the '54 first!) - but mine has a trem. What's up? Have you invented a cool new take on the wraparound?

Hey sorry I missed it. I've been MIA stupidly busy with work at graphtech and the shop and wife and kids! Sorry I missed the cellar too!

Thumb is still in a split more for protection than stability! I'm playing a bit, but never enough!

Keep in touch! Your PRS have a wraparound or a trem? I may have a surprise for you if you have a wraparound bridge

Hey, man! Where the hell are ye?

Guitar show! Sunday! Gonna be there? BMS, benjammin420, me ... what about you? Can you make it?

If you have any time tonight or tomorrow for some listening, good sir, might I invite you into the Cellar? No pressure; any comments you might have'd be great, and none is ok, too. (my "formula" invitation - I'm calling on a bunch of my pals)

... and, hey: how's that thumb doing? You healing up well?

Oh I know about the hard work!!! With a growing family and being a business owner. I will once we get some pics. I'm trying not to be too pushy about the whole lmg thing. I've been booted off a tele forum in like 2 seconds!!! I will once I get my Anodized Red Hard edge back from Paul Iverson. He's doing the nut for me! Then I'm gonna sand the neck and tongue oil it!!! Will be really slick. I put a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the Bridge and a SD Jazz in the neck. Should really work for some Maidenesque Harmonies!!!

I'm into that. It's tough to find time - everyone works really hard and all the time just to be here - I sure do. But - there's been talk about getting the MLP local yokels together for a beer. The Vancouver music scene is going to the dogs, and making some decent connections through this place might be a way to get some support happening.

I'm a terrible photographer. Really hard to catch the character of a cherry sunburst - the red always looks blocky and stupid, when it really gradually shades outward into this deep beautiful thing - but I'm working on photos of my three guitars. The PRS is so freakin' beautiful - really, really subtle.

I'd love to see your guitars! Who wouldn't? Why don't you start a thread on your guitars? Everyone (with any taste) will totally flip. I'll try to get my photos out there, too.

Up the Irons!!!! You've got to show some more pics of the PRS!!!

We should meet some time, and I'll bring out my two LMG's!!! Could be fun!!
