I never get tired of that one. Played it 3 violins a few years back for a performance organized by the music school I went to at the time. I still play it every now and then when I'm alone at home.

I'll totally look into it whenever I buy a guitar (maybe next xmas?) :P EDIT: Interesting... I was wondering why this topic is not dying... of course I have a link set as my signature... The weird part is that I created the signature before IP made the store stuff, so I have the signature disabled (haven't bought it yet) lol
