    I have absolutely nothing to add to this thread, except a warm Hi y'all!

    I haven't been posting a lot here - or anywhere for that matter - and since me mates are all here, I'd tell you all why. Some allready know I'm gonna be a dad in July. Well, I can add that it's gonna be a son.

    Secondly, I 've got a cool new job - professional playtime is over, it was fun though - working communication for an environmental organisation. Was the whole climate thing cool before I got there, or has it become cool since I got there? :D

    Anyway, I get to write, edit and do a lot of DTP stuff, lay-out, text design, flyers, posters, brainstorm to support their campaign. Good fun, very creative.

    On the downside: no time left to play the geetar.

    So anyway, enough hi-jacking this thread - but like I said: I got you all here. At least Greg stopped looking at Ebay for a minute. ;)

    congrats man. but always remember to keep some time for yourself. even if it's only a little. it helps immensely in being able to give the rest freely. so keep playing!!

    Hey Stefan, that's awesome! Congratulations on everything. Sounds like fun. The guitar will be waiting when you get time again...it's like riding a bike.
    I guess the new gear you get to play with is Baby gear, but that's kind of fun too I guess. Having a son must be doubly cool especially since you can teach him D G and E from a young age. Good to hear from you and best of luck.

    Cheers,

    Paul.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Mr. Casper Leblanc!!
    Congratulations! Wow, I didn't know! Well, having met you and your girlfriend,,,, I can say, great parents you will be! Tell her I said hi and congratulations, too! Outstanding!

    One of the great things for cleaning guitars and parts and polishing up the parts is: Used baby diapers! So there you go. You're still in the game. :D

    Playing and singing to your baby will be great, too, and keep you in the game! :cool:

    That's a classic.
    Not many 51's in that good shape! That color hasn't faded much either! It's tempting!

    Congrats man! Best of luck!

    In the vein of the thread, I've been looking at axes lately too, despite the fact that I just got my John Mayer Strat back in mid-December. I get three paychecks in March, so the budget will be overflowing with a little cash thats sure to burn a hole in my pocket. I've been thinking about either an Epiphone Casino or a MIM Telecaster to mod and mess around with.

    Thoughts? I heard on the radio GC having a sale this weekend. So I may just head down to the closest one and see what they got and what deals are going on.

    i heart my casino greatly though the finish around the neck joint leave something to be desired. tone-wise and feel-wise, i love it.
