New Finger Day

Picked it up today after a few weeks being made. Could have bought a new Ball for what it cost , but hopefully it'll be a great help for me playing all my other Balls. I can at last play my beloved ninth chord without deadening the 4th string. I'll get some pics in action later

Congrats.
Nice Outdoor shots! Really sparkles.
Man that makes me cringe.

Eeeew! LOL.

Great news Kev!

 

[Slav123]

Congrats Kev! It's great that you didn't get discouraged to play again.

Sucky natural top on that one!

so not sure how to respond...

That top sucks....

Looks nice Kev ... good luck with getting back to normal asap & hope don't interfere with your guitar playing.

Does that tip slide on and off or a permanent attach ?
More common injury than you would think.

I watched an interview with Steve Morse talking about his farm and he always has his fingers in agricultural stuff like that... makes you shudder. You always think it won't happen to you.. hope he reads this thread or Tommy passes the message on.

Certainly gives a new meaning to 'giving someone the finger'

sorry Kev, couldn't resist.

Cheers

Congrats Kev! Is it bionic?

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Who was it that gave you the "finger" huh? You tell me and I'll have them vivisected!

:

Nice one, Kev, I wish there was something that could have been done to my missing digit but I was too late and they amputated the other dangly bit.

 

[bkrumme]

Looks good, Kev. Let us know how it works out.

 

[threeminutesboy]

well hope this will work for you kev

 

[browndog]

Thats great Kev.

Now you can really give someone the finger.

I wish it was a joke, although seems quite funny now. Lawnmower got the better of me. Can't believe it was nearly a year ago now.

Yeah Baz, it's a silicon sleeve, so it comes off. Holds on tight by vacuum.The angle is set, so it's not adjustable. It is a very common injury according to the nursing staff at the hospital. I've been very lucky.
I was very close to losing two digits, but luckily missed the bone on the next finger.I was able to start gigging again 3 months later, and manage pretty well now.
This will hopefully just make some of those big stretches a bit easier. I'm sure there will be compromise though.

Congrats Kev! Is it bionic?

That'd be great, but I would have had to sell my house to buy it

LOL...Trust you ;^)

 

[guitfiddle]

Congrats on the new finger Kev. Looking forward to the action shots.

 

[beej]

Congratulations- what a ride it's had.

Does it double up as a slide??
