Well, in that case, lets get this party started.

I haven't tried one, but I don't think it sounds like a real IIC+.

Spread the word.

I give it about a day before someone who's never played a real IIC+ says they tried one and it doesn't sound like a real IIC+.

I've had pine before. No complaints.

I think it's biggest issue is that it doesn't stain as well as alder or ash?

I think I'll start my own label, then sign myself.

Seems every year I read about BOTR a week or two after it's done.
