    Default Hi, Fretters!

    My name is Craig Furlong.

    The guitar is so cool, and so are the people into it...and so is, of course, everything else that comes with it! My wife asked, "What do guys talk about regarding the guitar?" {as if there wasn't anything to it}

    A little about myself, I have played the drums and keyboards in many groups throughout the years (I am 57 now), and the guitar is my universe these days, and I love to play anything good (especially around the blues, smooth jazz, bluegrass & acoustic)! I have thousands upon thousands of songs on my system, and currently play in front of my computer in my apartment, which I love to do.

    I have a Strat with DiMarzio Humbuckers, a Wechter Pathmaker acoustic/electric, and a 30 year-old Yamaha FG-180 acoustic (it cost $125 back then, but the wood on it is sweet now, very aged and resonant). I have a Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde overdrive, a Digitech GNX3 effects unit, and a Fender 25R Frontman amp...AND I have Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe on order to me as I type! Can't wait to get my hands on that little baby!

    Thanks for being such a cool group--it is great to be here! I look forward to interacting with you guys on all-things-guitar!

    Best Regards,
    Craig T. Furlong

    Welcome Craig!

    Hide your wallet and cut your credit card cause this place is all about g.a.s

    Oh..I almost forgot, dont be afraid of the nude pancake man. He´s mostly harmless.
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I love people that are excited by their interests! Welcome Craig!

    What is there to say about guitars? A piece of wood, some strings, play.

    I guess we all should go home now.

    Thanks again!

    Welcome, Craig! Here's a GAS hint, from when I asked the same question...
    http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?p=36986#post36986

    However, I have not been here long enough to encounter the 'naked pancake man'.... so he can't be too dangerous - or even visible. Though I have been tempted to ask about Spudman's quote.... as a pancake lover myself (hoping I haven't stumbled into some kind of bad joke there....) BTW, Spudman, is that you in your new avatar?
