1 3/4 vs. 1 11/16.....or anything else....
I'm just thinking, I have 3 guitars that are 1 and 7/8 or bigger, some that 1 3/4...and some 1 11/16...It's a bit difficult to go from one extreme to the other in a short period of time, but I haven't had a real problem.

Tommy Jordan said… - I'll probably bring the 0000-28h to Kamp but Ben may play it. Since there is no banjo during Week 2, he's taking guitar instead. Besides, I'll be getting my NGC!!!!!
