These adds are killing me. It's like giving alchohol to an alchoholic. They feed the need to buy more stuff. Stuff I really don't need. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE?

Yeah, right, Tim! Like you want to be cured of your chronic GAS!! ;) :D

Seriously, it is possible to get rid of much of that type of "embedded" advertising on many web pages. Several pieces of software can be configured to do it. I use Norton Internet Security at home, and it takes out this stuff nicely. Frees up a lot of screen space.

The reason we have ads on theFret.net is so we can afford to run the whole dicussion board itself. Keep that in mind.

I understand Robert. It was a topic of discussion that is impacting my inability to go a day without a GAS attack or clicking on one of those ads to read more about the product. Then once you hear that tone you get that "I gotta have that" sensation quivering inside your body. It evil man … just plain evil.

Hey thanks man. Sweeet. A Deluxe will do nicely.

For those of you that didn't see the ad...there used to be this ad for "get your free Gibson Les Paul" blah blah blah and I actually thought about filling out the questionaire for it....but didn't. Anyway I still got my free Deluxe thanks SS. *thumbs up*

The grain on that one is nice. The Deluxe I traded off was a sunburst with natural wood grain...not quite as striking as my new Red Deluxe thanks SS you're alright!

To keep myself from buying more stuff I have my wallet cash compartment open and facing me right in front of the computer monitor. It's a good reminder.

Tim, 12 or 6 string?

You can have one of each! If you call within 5 minutes you will also receive our famous push-pull gain system and a pink ladies purse!

Nice one there Super Swede. How about a 6 string in tobacco sunburst?
