Hey guys,

Little bit about me;

From Joburg, born n raised..

Someone thought I'm a medical doctor, not quite true,
I'm an oral surgeon..
Thats a dentist who sub-specialises in minor oral surgery, bone grafting etc etc.
Cool field, and you need good hands..
Which is why I play the guitar..
Keeps my fingers sharp and gives me a great stress reliever..

And to be honest, the more I learn the more I love playing..

    Welcome.Enjoy the forum.Plenty to learn here.

        ? no I was referring to his PRS set up post in Dec:

        "Just wanted to know,
        I handed in my guitar to a music store in jhb (a good reputable store tha I've always had favourable experiences with in the past).

        I want a pickup replaced and the action checked.
        I gave the guitar in on Tuesday, and was told it would take a few days.
        I called in this morning to check if it was done and I was basically told that it still hadn't been looked at because they are very busy etc.
        I explained that I would only be able to fetch it up until 12:30 today because after that I can't get time for a whole week (I'm an oral surgeon and quite booked out the whole of next week)
        the then tells me I should speak to the owner if I don't like the situation!
        So now i'm being made to feel as though I'm being unreasonable.
        But I've given them four days and called everyday to query and remind them about my guitar.

        My question is whether you guys think I'm being unreasonable?
        Is it normal to get no timeframe from technicians?
        Should I wait another whole week?
        Should I go fetch my guitar and go elsewhere?
        It's a PRS so I guess I am a bit limited in where I can take it but still, I'd actually be prepared to pay a bit more for the convenience and haste..

        Any opinions?"
          Welcome Muhammed.

          So do you recommend playing with your teeth ala jimi? 8)
            Welcome Muhammad - An oral surgeon and a guitarist, so I guess you know quite a bit about bridge work and bridge settings ( ho ho ho - that must be the first time you heard that joke .... today!) :-[
              Hi Muhammed - welcome! ?

              Are'nt you scared some nervous kid will bite your fretting hand?? Suppose you drug them out though... ?
                Welcome

                There are other medical people as well on the forum ?
                And I even have a medical aid! (I am sure that counts)

                  Hahaha,
                  thanks for the warm welcome guys.

                  JackFlash: I changed the Standard 24 for a Custom 22, the all mahogany body was a little too dark sounding for my tastes, but it was a gorgeous instrument nonetheless..

                  Aubs: Guess I should watch what I say hey? You a lawyer by any chance?

                  DonovanB: play with your teeth, its what they were made for ?

                  Oh and Rene, thats a new one ? but i definately know more about guitar picks than tooth picks...
