Re: And so it ends
I am going to be 66 in May, and still working too much. I get average 4 job offers per month, even at my age. That could change though. I would not worry too much. Seems you have the attitude and the experience to keep moving forward.

Re: NGD, project SG
Looks great, but you do make it look easy. And I did watch your videos. Commented to you on one of the Facebook groups about it. Years ago I owned an Ibanez SZ, and sold it because it did not like the small frets. Might pick up a used one for nostalgia, and try a changing the frets.

Re: Fajitas
Looks great. There are some great flour and corn substitutes out there. Some even come in tortilla form. I have issues with wheat these days, but do ok with Ezekiel bread. Not the worst when toasted and it comes in tortilla’s as well. Would not say they are bargain priced though. Most of the time I ...

Re: NGD, project SG
That looks great. Having an issue with action being too low is usually not a problem with most guitars. Might have to give this refret thing a go one day. You do make it look too easy though. Don’t think I will have the same experience.

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?
Tried a couple PRS LP style guitars, but the necks are just too thick for my wimpy hands. This one is between Gibson 50’s and 60’s profile necks. It’s a Godin Summit.

Re: Much Belated NGD - LP Standard
Very nice. I owned a Standard back in the day , but it had a plain maple top. Sounded great through a Marshall stack and I had hair as well then. Bet it sounds great. Walked up to the Marshall Garage in Nashville on New Year’s Day. But alas, it was closed and I left the next day, yesterday. Maybe ne...

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?
What model is it? I own a few and keep buying as well McCarty. This one had the tuners swapped for vintage locking (probably Gotoh). And the pickups are Seth Lovers. Both great upgrades for my tastes. I'm avoiding Reverb and just trying to sell/trade it locally. Thanks for the reply. I owned one fo...

Re: My new Gibson 335 **IT's HERE!**
Very nice. I owned one in the 70’s. Don’t know what happened to it. I can assume the Firefly is now relegated to darkness in the closet? The poor thing.

Re: "Metallic Pink" LP Steps Up In Quality
Well that is quite a few. Could be in the record books. Thirty two more than I own to be honest. I do own an IYV if that counts.

It’s amazing what you can get in a guitar for low money these
days. So how many are you up to in Firefly guitars to date?

Re: IVY IP-300-TSB
I remember when you ordered those from IYV. They do make a nice guitar for you what you pay for them. I was just playing my green LP by them, and it does give me that 60’s style LP Standard feel and sound. But there is a difference in playability even with my only PRS SE that I have. It just feels b...

Yep. First time having a Bohemia while I was there. Similar to a Modelo, which is what I usually drink. During the daytime hours though. Nice a quiet for my old azz self.

Nice collection. Like the PRS you have there. After buying a few PRS myself, I thought I was finished as well. I keep buying more PRS though.

Re: IVY IP-300-TSB
Glad you got a good one, but in my experience, the brand is hit or miss. I have one of their emerald green LP copies I got off eBay for $92.00 shipped. Needed a little work, but cured my LP itch. Ordered an IYV semi-hollow off Amazon, but the tail piece was mounted 1/2” off center. Amazon has a grea...

Re: This place is too quiet!!! So NGD post.
I have had Godin guitars in the past and they needed minor fret work, but this one needs more than the norm for some reason. Action was set up quite high when I received it with heavier strings. I like lower action with 9’s. I do my fret levels under tension with the Katana (Rectify Master) fret lev...
