Yeah Eric I'm still stoked about the Takamine - still holding out while everyone jumps aboard the Taylor train. I will admit that Travis' and Rob Coblentz's 700 series sound great, but who has that kind of cash?

And yes, I do this almost every time I change strings even though I try my darndest not to! GRRRRRRR!

Define 'regular,' like every time you restring? YES!
I'm so glad you posted this, I feel 'normal!'

Makes you feel like a hard rocker when you bleed for your music.

I hate this. I tend to leave my strings a little longer to avoid the thumb-poke.
