Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

That's quite a list. I used to maintain all my own stuff, but I now send things to a luthier on a regular schedule. Even when I'm not home, I have my son take down 4 to 6 guitars each month and pick up the ones from the month before.

He goes through, inspects for and repairs any damage - including cosmetic blemishes on some of them. On others, the cosmetic blemishes are as much a part of the instrument as anything else.

I have played through my fingerboards from playing an instrument too many times. In many, you can see where the wood is worn in certain more commonly played parts of the neck. Things like that...

Interesting. How long does it take you to wear through something like that? I imagine you're playing very frequently, though.

Many, many hours of aggressive playing. Think on the order of years. I play passionately and with aggression.

I haven't worn out a guitar like Trigger (Willie Nelson's guitar), but that's probably because I've not played any one guitar that much.

It's like a drug. There's always more. There's always a wanting for that more.

Yeah, that makes sense.
