Went to my local GC to try and find The Real Book (I did), but I also found the Ibanez Artcore AF71F that I actually wanted to get, but settled on the AF55 because I didn't want to wait.

Luckily I was still within the 30 day return policy so I returned the AF55 and paid about $60 more. The floating pickup is really nice and gives the body a loud projection, although it does look like finding replacements are tricky, so that is kind of a let down. Still it was the guitar I wanted and it looks and plays absolutely beautifully.

I'm enjoying it, although I'm shocked that "Summertime" isn't included.

I was shocked to find "Michelle" and "Yesterday" were included. As much as I love the Beatles, they are not jazz. I was a bit surprised at the exclusion of "Mack the Knife", as well.

I was digging through some crap in my mom's basement, when all of a sudden…. Holy ****! It's a didgeridoo! Apparently, my grandparents picked it up in one of the many foreign countries they've visited. I'm having trouble producing a decent noise. Anyone here have experience playing one?

Nice!

...and sadly, no. I'm sure there's an instructional vid out there somewhere tho.

Blow into it and let your lips flap, kind of like a fart noise. Tighten your embouchure and you should be able to change the pitch.
