I like it the way it is, as I'm mainly using it for slide in open G tuning, but if I were going to play it alot without the slide, I'd lower the strings. Great guitar though.  8) <br><br>Dan]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Rahul, Thanks... and Merry *early* Christmas back at you! :P <br><br>Dali, wish I'd checked out your auction before it ended... missed the Squier too... I work on computers all week and sometimes I just can't bring myself to turn it <br>on over the weekend!<br><br>Still watching the BC Rich for Daughter-in-Law, think it's so sweet looking and still cheap, but a couple of more days yet. Dagwood, funny you mention the U2, that's my guitar... I love it and may just end up getting one for her, but there's already this weird sort-of-family-joke/vibe going on... he'll call me "babe" and her "mom"... creeps us all out sometimes  :roll:  :lol: <br><br>So, being the newb that I am, can someone point me to the Squier '51 thread/link, I can't find it... and also tell me what Dan T's "MF" stands for? Both sound like great options to check out for son #2.<br><br>Thanks, Kathleen<br>ps. Robbie: Santa lives...<br> :)]]></content:encoded>
