    Default New Guy

    Dear Fret.net Members,

    I just recently joined thefret.net at the invitation of Robert. Originally, I tapped into his dolphinstreet.com site for awesome gear reviews and playing hints. When I found Robert's myspace, he mentioned thefret.net. I have to say this is a very friendly place and I like it. Some other high traffic forums (I won't mention names) house uncouth people that prey on belittleing others. Not this place. It is a really good group of guys (and gals?) with similar interests -- gear, gear, and more gear. I am glad to make all of your aquaintences. Thanks for creating and maintaining such an awesome place.
