sumelton 1, I am from Belgium.
A lot of my guitars, I have an amazing collection, came straight from the States, 2 guitars, on the plane with me (one at the time), and I knew the serial number. A friend of me wrote that he sold (it was a Martin D-45V, difficult to find here, a lot of guitar stores have a D-35 or a D-42, and if they have a D-45, they ask between 8000€ and 10.000€)
Other guitars, like the entire serie PRS EG, US made, I found on eBay. Those guitars were made from 1990--> 1992, except for one 1990-->1994. I don't find them no longer.
They are dream guitars..
I will try to help, searching on the web.
I saw that guitar, a real beauty, and probably great sound. What's the price?

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: SHE LOOKS EXACTLY AS A MARTIN D-45V

Well, I was surprised. It is still very early in the morning, I've been to the hospital on Friday, and you know all about my physical problems. The strangest thing was that I did compare this with the fact that I died twice, cardiac arrest, but they didn't want me in hell (even too bad) and not in heaven.
At first I was confused, there are so many QUALIFIED people, earning this more, I didn't refuse, and I made a promess.
- upyerkilt: you still can MODERATE ME
- SouthPaw41L: MODERATE ME TOO, because sometimes, I know myself, it can be 100% going to 10%
- Don Corleone: you are a great guy, I love your topics AND answers. More I think I even contacted you for New Zealand, because they need MD generalists there. There was SO MUCH I wanted to do, but destiny...glad to be alive. The cruise line thing: I was chosen too, for your country too,  and it was a very sad and hard period, because I start to live my life again, and if I am not able to work here, it will be the same in New Zealand.
One important thing is that , and I quote: You can call it dreaming, it helps me, my life phrase is, ...but I'm not the only one.
- Old Doll:I will always love you.
- Roger and James: BOTH OF YOU LEARNED ME A LOT.
- All other "chordians" who share the same passion.
I wrote I will always stay the same old weird gitaardocphil, I am happy and start to accept my limitations. Nothing changes in fact, because I will always advise. As a doctor I had really strong feelings, I knew almost what was going on the moment people stepped into my office.
Even when 100% sure about the diagnosis, I was not afraid to call in front of the patient, a colleague, specialised in Lungs, Heart.. to tell him if he agreed with me. This is the only way to tell that a team works better than an individual.
A question, proposition: Everyone here remembers "paranormal", and you see quit often youngsters with problems, and these events gave me since Juin a proposition, something, a place were they can discuss about problems, a kind of FEELING BAD topic.
Thanks to all of you, I wrote it 100 times: I owe a lot to chordie, because I learned a lot, and also, I changed a lot, it gave me the courage to do something else with my life, to live better and change some bad habits, like feeling myself useless.
There is so much more, that if I write everything here, it would take me a day.
My English has improved a lot, writing (75%), speaking (25%).
See you back on the topics.
Lieven PHILIPS (that is the "PHIL")

That is exactly what I will do here too, all together.

I am a Dunloper too, and as far I can read it correct (I use the a lot) it sais .73, it is not the really soft picks, but I don't like "picks" you can't bend with your fingers. I take them and try to squeeze, if it bends, I take it. Fender has some good picks too.
Too soft, be careful, I had received some martin picks, I got them for free and I choose very light, but I think they are all broken.
If I am not wrong, there were once pics made from the shell of a turtle, and some guitar playrs still use a coin.

Hi ardstech, I agree with James and the others. I am from Belgium, and thanks to Chordie, my written English has improved a lot. My spoken English was not bad. About lyrics: I have a lot of songs, or better instrumentals, because no lyrics.
But I do have a few, like recently, meaning since a few days, I am busy, having the melody already a few months. The lyrics are about TIME: who and why is our time expressed in minutes and hours, while we both know that nice things, like a girl, a nice holiday, are going so fast. Better: why is 1 hour going so fast if you are doing something amusing, nice BUT so slow when sitting in a classroom? Pick something, a word, a phrase you like, and it will be easier. But who am I to tell this, because I have the same problem. I still haven't found an answer, but when it is about a song: the FIRST THING YOU WILL EXPERIENCE is the MELODY, later followed by the lyrics.

Thanks a lot Ken, this is in fact of the "existance" of this topic.
You are obsessed like me by music, and I think all the stuff around music. I still love knowing "that little detail, named why, who and what", and more, I am going nuts (but I am already nuts) to try to understand music, not tabs, chords or able to read music.
One of my biggest interests is that the USA, is different. If you want to start building a factory over there, it is or will be very difficult, and in the mean time we are so familiar with their "idustries", see Coca Cola. Isn't it a little bit strange that some UK albums have at least a different song list in the US, same for Japan. It must be a "painful" passion for fans to have and collect them all. As I told I am INFECTED BY THE MUSIC VIRUS, and I spend hours to search for information, facts and share them. I have time (unfortunately) because it is excluded to start working again. My child dream was being captain on a big boat, I had 40 years later the life opportunity: I was accepted to be a Doc on a cruise line. I had to mention my accident in my CV, but, EVEN BEING ACCEPTED and knowing I could start in Miami in April, they had the right to contact the hospital, and be sure, they did. I went to a horrible period, the struggle between knowing my condition and accepting it. I still can't accept it, even my social live has gone, only because I can't sit longer than 15 minutes. I will come, if invited, but I am to scared to go out for a party or a dinner. I have no secrets, I am still able to give advise, and writing about it, relieves me because I am not alone. I just want to make myself useful, I wrote 2 books, not published, because I am not allowed to earn money, but I can probably make a deal with insurance companies. I do hope that you, everybody, don't have to go through the same "hell".
I wrote you already, you are a very nice, comprehensive person, and I hope we'll meet each other some day.

When you are young, you dream to be older.
When you are old, you dream to be younger.
We all have to face this.
But I repeat, you have ONE strong point: they like you playing on guitar: USE THIS SKILL

GITAARDOCPHIL SAIS: A SKULL IS NOT A SKILL

As I wrote already: THE NEW JOHN FOGERTY, SPRINGSTEEN.
There is a reissue from The piper at the gates of dawn" 40th anniversary pink floyd, and Foo Fighters: Echoes, silence, patiece and grace. Those guys are getting bigger and bigger.
It won't surprise me that they are starting to become the most poular band.

Well rockerchick, I was also a considered as a kind of freak (maybe not the correct word), and even more when I was working (as a MD generalist) because I was subject of jealousy, by so called collueges of me.
WHY 1: probably because I had more patients and I could almost do what I wanted to do. Travelling, women, cars and still having more and more work.
WHY 2: I think because people took me like I was. Always try to be your self.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE OTHERS, YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE YOUR SELF. I mean by staying yourself, trying to adapt even if you don't want. You can't loose nothing, if you don't have to loose something. How old are you? What do you study for? and you love punk.
A very funny solution is: do the unexpected, I did. When they start judging you, I would really love to see their faces, if on one day you arrive at school, with a costume, including a tie, you will take them by surprise, without changing yourself. My slogan was: beat them with their weapons, stay calm, and be always honest with your self. If you like to talk, my mail is visible, and I promise to give you advise (still professional). I know it sucks, you are a young man with your heart on the right place, keep it that way. As far as I know the USA, by travelling and avoiding big cities, there are still a lot of nice people there, MORE THAN IN MY COUNTRY where most of the people are selfish.
Don't forget what you wrote: people say that the only thing good about me is I play guitar. USE IT, it proves that they DON'T HATE YOU.
I forgot to tell that it wasn't all peace in the hippie era. They started to live together "free love", but was that the solution? If it was so, why did it almost disappear?
