Back in the saddle

Post by Jerryleejr »

I would like to thank those that took the time and answered all my questions on the various models I was looking at while shopping. And for my level of playing there wasn't a bad choice in the ones I was looking at. So now it's practice practice practice and I should soon be just above a fart sound...

I really liked the one I test played. I'd buy one if I hadn't already ought a 186 just for the sake of having the paddle arrangement like that.
The best way to have a long life is to try not to shorten it.
