Is that a graphite bar he's holding?

It's a precursor to your Tapper. "Look ma, no bar!"

Of course, I imagine the wealth and fame only multiplies once you add frets....no?

I'm attributing my lack of the above to my use of the traditional bar.

Somebody should be selling those, I'd like to have one for my wall.
Many play better than I do. Nobody has more fun.

Bill sent me the file, I'm going to go to Staples or Fed Ex and have them print it out on decent paper and then frame it. Looks like it would be about an 11x17 inch frame.
