    Re: Open up?

    Hi, and thanks all for your thoughts.

    I'm coming from a four-old Collings MF—my first mando experience—and I've always liked the sound. That neck's a little thick and the exposed sides of the...

    Re: Strings--specifically, shrill "E"s

    Re: A 'rider' to the PayPal thread.

    This could well be a legit PayPal email, as they do do business this way. And it's therefore a method that is copied by less than legal folks, so it could be fake. Does that help? ;-)
