Nice. Congratulations!

That sounds wonderful. You did it with just an iPhone? Wow!

I got the "mojo grips" picks in the mail, it's a pack of 3 yellow picks with the little slip-over rubber grips. They are nice. For the purposes of this post, I pulled out a yellow pick, put one of...

It depends too whether you're talking new or used/nearly new.

When I saw a used Eastman MD-315 locally, I jumped on it. I love it. Forget the original asking price, maybe over $500. I got it for...
