Hi all.

I'm part of the NWOWF (new wave of washburn forumites). I've posted a couple times here and figured it's about time I introduced myself.

I've been playing for (hmmmmm, let me think) almost 25 years. Wow, am I really that old? I own a small CNC machine shop and my family breeds Shih Tzu's (I've already heard the Bulldog/Shih Tzu joke......about a million times. LOL)

I spend a lot of my time playing, buying, repairing, building and modifying guitars - and I enjoy sharing what I know. Anything I can do to help - just ask.

A bunch of my forum buds have migrated over here (hey all!) so I thought I'd pull up a chair. Must be a great place if it attracted those fine folks. I look forward to getting to know y'all.

==================================================

(EDIT) I tried to link to my W forum profile in my Fret.net signature but forgot that you have to be a W forum member to see it. I then tried to recreate that profile here but this forum doesn't allow much info in profiles so for the time being I'll just post it in this thread. (I hope it doesn't look pretentious, I'm not that way)
