Hi all.

Q... What kind of advice can you give me ?   Tommy Emmanuel's reply ....

You move your hand Up and Down that long bit and the music comes out of that Big Black Box behind you !!

Wow wow wow! You are now officially the master integrator in Oz. I think this should be your new line of work if you care to change fields. You have a great eye for bling and fit. Congratulations!


PS. I see your trademark pickguard design in making yet another appearance. Great!
