I really don't need much of an excuse, most people I know just realize how meticulous Iam when it comes to my equipment. And for those who are hypochondriacs, I just tell them that my germs are all over them (with a little cough here and there.) But I'm really not mean, I hve my momentsm :). But still, I let my previous girlfriend tinker with my guitars every now and then, even years after we broke up, she still has this strange hold on me.

-Joseph, :).
