Yeah... sorry about that, Alan. It's not personal. I'm still a PRS guy. Hell, I just bought an NF3 from JustMund (via Sergio). Long-story-short: we moved to Germany last April and the routine(s) we used to keep just didn't work anymore. Between my new job, my marriage, my daughter, my band, and heavy travel, there isn't much time for guitar forums. Even if there was, I'm in a very different place these days. It wouldn't be the same.
Paul (and the PRS company) have been exceedingly kind - and astonishingly generous - to me and to my girls. I'm also grateful that he and my brother Shawn allowed me to be a part of the team that established this forum. It was a privilege and I gained a great deal of wisdom from the experience. I'm a fairly senior guy in a very large, multi-billion-dollar company so I was surprised by the things I learned about culture, group dynamics, and the value of a life lived (in all domains) with authenticity. Some days I wish I could have a mulligan and do it again better - but then the lesson would be gone.
This community (and the Birds and Moons forum that came before it) is the place where I met the very best friends I've ever had. It will always be dear to me.
Happy New Year to you and to the rest of the fellas, Alan. You are missed.
