Hmm, I could have swore it was you that told me that. Oh well. Maybe I dreamt it.

Maybe?

I had the weirdest dream last night. I broke a high E string and had a nightmare of a time changing to a lighter gauge and doing a setup on it. For the life of me, I couldn't get it set up. Nothing went right on it. Nothing...

All I did was want to replace the broken string and put Ernie Ball Super Slinky Extra Light strings on it. (The pink pack.) It wouldn't intonate, for example. So, I ended up cutting one of the springs down so that I could make the string even longer.

Eventually, I took the spring out and found out that the bridge was put in the wrong spot, but only by a little. So, I had to plug the existing screw holes, move the bridge, square it up, and do all sorts of shit just to get the intonation 'close enough'.

I think I woke up before I was done with the dream...

I don't normally dream, but the sleepy meds and Chanix mean I sometimes dream now. It's kinda neat. I spent most of my life never entering REM sleep and never dreaming.

I was having a weird dream when I woke up, I don't remember exactly what was going on but I was doing some really mundane kind of thing.

It's amazing how detailed my dream was.

Man, was I pissed at the guitar. I don't recall the brand, but it was an expensive guitar and like new - like I played it once or twice.

Even the saddles were fucked - they had rough edges and that's what snapped the string, so even those had to be filed and polished.

I'm telling you, it was a nightmare setup job. It was a dream, so I'm not sure why I didn't just send that fucker back to whoever made it. It wasn't cheap, but you'd have thought it was with all the problems it had.
