Yep. My new production Casino has one sharp fret edge (not razor, just not like the others) I'll fix. Haven't seen any other apparent blems yet but I've had it a day and haven't hit it with a fine-toothed comb.

Sounds like I wanted, and I'm not risking the magic over a filing job I can do myself on the end in < 5m.

i don't trust people that worry about scratching their guitar. it's like complaining that your hammer got banged on.

Yep. As long as playability isn't affected, don't care about *any* cosmetic damage on a guitar any more. Or putting on stickers or whatever.

In my own way, I'm 16 again, and I like it.

I think I may be going through that 16 again phase too. Yay midlife crisis. Could be worse though. We could be going through menopause. :lol:

I am having no crisis, I traded my health to not have one.

Just hitting the point where I give absolutely less fucks about anything that I don't like than ever before.

Nope, at this point none of it matters.

It's my music, my rat, and what makes me happy as much as I have until I fall over, as often as I can.

"Have a good time, all the time" except when I'm sick, and even then...I try.

I guess an illness that threatens your life really put things into perspective.

Yea, it does. This is a crippling slow death, all the fun of a terminal illness without any make a wish foundation or rounds of chemo. At least my hearing and hands are still intact.

I guess that's the plus side if you could call it one. That's the only thing I would hate is loosing the use of my hands and ears. Playing guitar is one of my favorite things ever. Really sucks to know you are going through the shit dude. I feel for you.

It could be worse, I can make music and do what I want without any sort of worry about money (I get enough, not a huge amount, but enough).

I just pay for it being really sick a couple days a month and being a deformed cripple worthy of children pointing.

Which doesn't happen much because I don't leave the house these days, which I'm also fine with.
