This is the perfect spot to warn people. First of all; except for my middle finger, if I play for at least 45 mins a day they do ok (on the electric).

The warning: Take extra time when working on things where there's a chance you can hurt your fingers... I've worked construction in the past and I have built many things in my lifetime and have never hit my finger like I did three months ago. It split it down the middle of my nail and basically messed it up pretty good. When the specialist told me that fingers are one of the most time intensive wounds to heal, I took it with a grain of salt. Well he was not joking!!!
I'm just getting back to where I can fret with it but it is very painful. He also said that it could take another 3 to 6 months before the pain will completely go away.

Anyways; for the sake of playing that beautiful instrument without any interuptions, please all, don't rush anything where accidents can happen.

PS. The deck looks great though!! :D
