    "Lost" 6x0 "Ab Aeterno" Tues. 9pm NO SPOILERS UNTIL AIRED

    I froze the screen during the Bible passage but didn't see anything jump out at me other than the constant mentioning of Elias - which means nothing to me! 4:24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were...

    New guitar day

    That's a really nice guitar! I have the es-335 in red - 1997 model. Is the body/neck smaller on the es-339 compared to the es-335? We SHOULD post/resurrect a "show off your music gear" thread - it may lead to new friendships based on commonality in instruments! -Matt
