Curious. What do you do for a living?

For the last 4 years, I've been the Director of Student Activities at a small college. I like to describe it as a combination of event planning, teaching, and mental health management  ;D

However, next month I'm dropping everything to move to Nashville to pursue playing guitar full time. It's one of those things that I've never really gotten out of my system and I don't want to regret not trying to make it work.

Some days, I'm completely stoked about it. Other days, I'm terrified.

I'm a Pastor. I work with Students largely, as well as in the Musical end of things. I preach, I teach, and I pray.

For sure, I would never, ever take a regular desk/office/corporate job again. It is too soul sucking.

I fill the cavity where my soul used to be with guitars and pedals.  It's kind of like walking around with a transplanted pig's heart, but I get by.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

They make near-clones of famous brands/models. They don't copy it exactly, and they use their own name on it (so it's clear it is not a $5k watch), so I don't see anything wrong with it. They actually make a super-nice series of Panerai clones (among others):

The site linked above also sells watch kits with all the parts ready to assemble (movement is already put together, so it's just putting on the dial/hands and then locking it down in a case). I've almost ordered the kit about 10 times. :)

The one I have is a IWC clone:



The IWC clone is sweet.  

Go for it!!!!  Get the kit!  Otto Frei I believe has kits as well, in case you need more options.

I mod cheap guitars because my local music store said not to.
