They are really robbed of options and possibilities. When the movements to be learned are still alien and new to both hands anyways, I really see no risk or extra obstacle in learning it in a way that will have major benefits in the long run.

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Complaining that there are hypocrites in church is like complaining that fat people use the gym. Where else would you have them be?

Allright folks, I'm back in the Netherlands. My jetlag is over, life is back to 'normal'. I'll pick up preparing the shipments this week and I hope to have shipped out everything before the end of the month. I want to explain why.
Even though I said before that I'm giving away the guitars as is, I cannot live with the idea that the guitars go out to you guys with old strings, ****ty setups, electronics that aren't checked, backplates that aren't installed (yet). So every guitar gets a full clean, setup, new strings, check up etc. So every guitar gets like 2 to 5 hours of work depending on the guitar. I might even just polish some light blemishes. Yes, they're old and B-Stock but that doesn't mean I can't use a little bit of elbow grease to make the better. My pride prevents me from just slipping them in a box and saying sayonara. No, sir. I want you all to have the experience of getting one of my guitars as good and well as I'm able to.
Initially it was the idea to do just that: slip the guitar in a (protective) sleeve, box up and ship, but my fiancée convinced me otherwise. She is a marketing expert and convinced me that I should regard these as brand-new builds instead of B-Stocks, in order to maximize the enjoyment for you guys. Maybe I'm overstepping, don't know, but I do believe now that maximizing the yield will be the best for you all, so bear with me I know you all wish you had your guitars right now but I'm just not that flexible or fast.
On a personal note. I am planning my wedding at the same time I'm doing my day job, shipping you guys these guitars, training for a marathon as well as build instruments for customers. It's surprising how tiring life can be when you have 1001 things to do, but better to be busy than be bored I suppose. In December, we'll tie the knot and say 'I Do'. I never felt so sure about something as I'm feeling about this event.

Welcome home, Orpheo! And congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
You sure do have a lot going on in your life right now.
Rather a full life than an empty one.
I'm sure I speak for other the lucky recipients too when I say we all appreciate your extra efforts, making a great giveaway even better..
