Hmmm, maybe if you all came over early, you could help vacuum 5 years of imbedded cat hair out of the rugs.

By the way, two nights ago I heard a pickup that I really DID like. T'was on Terry Tufts' Martin J-40. Fishman transducer....but he also brings his own mixer and several boxes of effects. Great sound, but it's when you play his J40 Acoustically that you really hear the quality.

I guess the point is that if he'd had the same setup in a Seagull ('bout 1500 bucks cheaper) he'd have still sounded fine (and probably exactly the same.) I Think the "Brand game" is just that...a game. But it's fun, and I've been playing it for years. Just one of the things that keeps ya busy til ya die.
