Thanks for the nice words and all. I am working to finish my solo today. Also, yeh.. there is annoying intonation issues with my guitar that I've never been able to properly fix, even after taking to a proper tech at the guitar shop.
If it wasn't for this trip to China I am doing this year, I probably would have bought that Ibanez Prestige guitar I have been looking at for about 12 months now. Sadly all of my guitars are not the best, they're just what I could afford at the time and upgraded with pickups and stuff so I have to make do.
