Is this a syndrom of your first 4-5 days as a non-Team-leader?

Syndrom? Is that a syndrome of not being able to spell syndrome correctly?

Ahh, I see, hehe. Oh btw, just before while I was offline, I got an old Epiphone Les Paul, took the neck off it (it's bolt neck), and sanded down the fretboard for about half an hour, because it had all sorts of muck on it, I oiled the fretboard with lemon oil, put the neck back on and the strings on, and the rosewood looked a lot nicer. Plus, sanding down the fretboard gave the fretboard a slightly scalloped fretboard feel to it, so bending and vibrato is a little easier now too.

Being an American citizen, that grants me the right to point out typos when I see fit.

Well, honestly, I couldn't change a guitar pickup or any electronics to save my life, I haven't used a soldering iron since metalworking class in highschool about 5 years ago and another thing too, this guitar was for free, so I'm not rich, haha. But things like taking the necks apart, taking the scratch plate off and see how the pickups are mounted in the guitar etc I've been doing for ages out of curiosity. Hell, I've never owned a Floyd Rose or any locking trem guitar in my life, but I can restring and intonate them faster than guys that own a locking trem guitar, simply because out of curiosity I learnt how to intonate, maintain and re string them.

I just got an Ovation..it's a cheaper model but I like it, nice slim body with a cutaway, wood top with fiberglass back, and a built-in tuner which is nice but I've always tuned by ear, so..

Ohh nice! You have to take some photos and stick 'er up in Tech Talk sometime. I used to use a tuning fork, tune one string to pitch, and the rest, tune by ear relative to that, but ever since I got a chromatic tuner on board my amp simulation unit, I got lazy and let that do the work for me, haha.
