I mentioned before about how I would have practiced more if I'd had my first guitar properly set up. Now that I know better, I do better. Now, while I doubt I'll ever be an amazing player, I sure as heck have a good time when I am playing! And I know that if I sound like garbage, at least I can't blame the instrument.

When I get an guitar on my bench, my only goal is to make sure that it feels and sounds the best that it can when it comes off the bench and heads home. And I know that I can get anxious when one of my own guitars are out of the house without me, so I try to make sure to get the work done as quickly as quality will allow.
