Gotta write about something else than Tommy before this becomes a Tommy shrine.
So Pier went on from NTU to join DSTA, a local statutory board dealing with the Singapore military. Got Work == $$ , and soon a desire for a better guitar rose from within. One that sounds "profesional", like those you hear on cds. But those Martins and Taylors, they were really too expensive for Pier. Then I saw this guitar hanging in Sinamex, the local Taylor distributor. I played it - wow, it was comparable to some of the Taylors in terms of sound.
After that I tried several brands of guitars, the lower end Martins, the Blueridges, Larrivees, higher-end Seagulls.. but my mind kept returning to that guitar. It had a big, bold sound. Somewhat towards the bassier side.
Later on I called it 大屁股， because being a medium jumbo guitar, it has an enormous butt.
So one fine day after I got my yearly bonus I went down to get it. And I know that this is a guitar I'll never sell.
But it definitely won't be my last. :p
