I second the Takamine, A little more that the cheaper Ovations but much better guitar.
Also check out the Alvarez Yari line.
I had an Ovation, I hated it. Don't have it any more.
Better yet, get a Telecaster and a little tube amp . .

Ovation Guitar anyone?
by Simon ini used to play the guitar quite a bit but haven't practiced seriously for quite a few years (and left my guitar in the uk when we moved over here).. yesterday i decided i should get myself a guitar again so i popped into a music store and had a strum on a few.. the ovation guitars seemed really nice and not too expensive.
does anyone have one or have any experience of them?
i would love the electic one they do that can also sound acoustic but can't really justify spending so much so would probably get a regular wood / round-backed one.. thanks.

No further education - is the policy backfiring?
by eyeslice init seems to me that there was a softening of the no further education edict for a little while.
but just lately the 'dangers' of pursuing further education and worldly careers has been made a real issue again.
it seems to me though that this has as much danger of driving the very ones they would like to keep, the talented, the bright, the high achievers, out of the organization.

JRR Tolkien . . provided escape from the mind numbing kult when I was a teen ager, i read the trilogy more than 6 times during HS
My father . . . showed me what I DID NOT want to be when I grew up, a two faced philandering hypocrit witnoid/elder/po/pioneer who instilled in me a feeling of total absolute worthlessness that at 55 I still struggle with every day.
Mrs LoB . . . her unconditional love and support for the last 20 years saved my life and makes me want to be a better man. Yeah I stole that line but there is no better way to say it..

What turned me away from the WTBTS.... PART 1
by megawatt insigh.... wished i would've introduced myself proper in my first post here, but having the fear of being found out too quickly or not being the right time made me censored myself from revealing too much info.
recently though, i just felt the need to get this off my chest, despite the possible risk of being called out, which several jws in good standing are aware of my exact situation.
i registered at the new site (jw support something) since theres some buzz of this site is going off line, but hadn't received my confirmation email yet.

I just remembered another one . . an elder asked me not to park my 1970 GTO Judge convertible in front of the Kimdumb Hell. This was in Manchester, NH in 1976.

Why are so many leaving?
by Dorktacular ini've noticed as of late that quite a few people are posting "good bye" threads.... why?.
sometimes people have disagreements or arguments, but does that mean they can't remain friends or talk?.
hell, if i left my wife every time we had an argument, we wouldn't have stayed married through our honeymoon!

You don't have any rights here.
by yesidid inyou don't have any rights here.
you cannot do as you see fit - simon can.

selfishness
it is selfish to insist upon your own rights at the expense of the rights of others.
this is one of the major problems of society today.
and since this board is but a microcosm of larger society . . it is a major problem here as well.
sensitivity to the sensibilities of others goes a long way.
it's a two way street.
this is simon's board . . i have no rights here and I accept that because this place provides something I need/want.
Thanks, simon, for a place that has helped me and many others. I have been here since day 1 (but under another name)
