Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

A little bit of wood and some wire and strings and you can build yourself a Stradivarius

Well, no... No, you can't. But, you can build a violin that's a fuck of a lot better. There's not that much special about them - and anything special about them can easily be recreated today. There's a company in France that will make you an exact recreation of any violin you can bring them - and it's non-destructive, meaning you still keep the original violin.

The whole things a sham where violins cost millions of dollars simply because they say they do. You can, quite literally, recreate every single tone from a violin that's less than five figures in cost.

(I've watched a few documentaries and read a bunch.)

I meant something just as good or better, not a literal Stradivarius, but you got the point.

Oh, absolutely...

Hell, I can buy a $100 electric violin and make it sound like a famous violin.

Well, no... No, I can't... I'm sure J could. My violin skills are pretty much limited to squeaks and howls.
