Typing with one-hand is very cumbersome.... :reallymad:

Got back from the hand surgery an hour or so ago; the novocaine still hasn't worn off. But the cool thing is that the mobility of the finger is immediately improved. You guys know how much I like to post photos for my projects, so why should this be any different? :D

Check out the flex on the index finger in this 2nd shot. Haven't been able to do that in about 3 weeks!

Sweet, DVM! You'll be shredding like Vai and Gilbert in no time. :D
Well, that'll also be the first time! :D

Very nice veins on those fingers btw :)
Not up to Renmanian standards, but serviceable, I guess! ;)

Now is that the standard diode combo setting or the turbo mode on that flexed digit?
Sorry you can't see the new rotary switch--it's under the bandage, next to the 9V adapter jack! :D
 
Great now you can do the dog on the shadow puppets.Really glad to hear it's going fine.Sumi:D

DVM.....this is purely and intentionally tongue-in-cheek...:D .....all I see is a hand wrapped in bandages.......so to paraphrase STRUM....we wanna see pics of the stitches or IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.....:rotflmao:

Seriously though DVM.......I'm thrilled for ya. Good luck and ain't it GREAT when you get better results that you hoped for???? I know that feeling all too well.

Sorry buddy, I just couldn't resist the CHEAP shot. My PHILS are kicking butt in the NLDS series and WE couldn't be happier.

Hey Evenkeel.....is the MRS a PHILLIES fan too???

Glad to see that it all worked out well, DVM. It was probably over before you knew it!

So, do you get a cool scar out of this? :cool:
 
Thanks, guys! Now that the local has worn off, it aches pretty good! :messedup: They gave me hydrocodone, but I'm trying to avoid that stuff....
 
The pics are nice and all.....but all us fretters know that DVM CANNOT leave anything stock...

so what's under the bandage?? updated circuit board? DPDT switch? :confused:

DVM had to have SOME mod done....or it just ain't right :poke:

GG
 
Hehe. I remember when the local started wearing off with me too :messedup: Not good times. I have no desire to see what's under that wrapping. If I never see stitches in hands for a million years it will be too soon.
 
2-3 weeks sounds reasonable for what you get out of it.

You can spend the time planning your next build.

With a line like that, one would think that you were looking at guitar porn.
 
:D :rockon: :D :rockon: :D

Guess who played for a while today?? Still pretty stiff, but not too much pain and the finger bends quite well. Can't tuck the finger in for chords requiring the index finger on the the high strings yet, like F, Dm, C and Am, but single note stuff isn't bad at all. Overall, it's coming along nicely!!

:D :rockon: :D :rockon: :D

EExxxxcceelllllennnt!! :rockon: Really glad to hear it!
 
Great news DVM! Hang in there brother and just be careful not to overdo it. You'll be better than new before you know it.:beer:
 
Do not over stress. You are required to perform in tip top shape. Stop that guitar playing and heal up asap that means now. What would the state of this planet be if you weren't able to create those pedals of yours huh? ;) :)
