Re: WITHDRAWN

I really wanted one but they were all sold out in that finish by the time I really got serious. Weight is always a crap shoot with Agile's, I really got lucky with most of them though.

Re: Neat soldering tip

I have a tin of rosin and always apply a little before I apply the heat. One thing that came up on a Reddit post recently was the question or whether guitar wiring is mostly copper, tinned copper or aluminium. I always thought most of the wiring on the Agiles and many others was aluminium due to its...

Re: UFO's: Believer or sceptic

As a teenager in California I remember seeing far off lights in the sky that could suddenly change direction in a blink of the eye. Its always made me wonder what could have done this, they were not lit like normal air traffic and the change of direction was instant and faster than even a fighter je...

Re: Any keto experience?

I did it for awhile but didnt stick to it although I'm trying to get back to it. I'm diabetic so I check my blood sugar in the morning before a meal and my score went from 120 through 140 down to 85 or 90 which is normal so I know it works for this. I've never been good at eating my greens which are...

Re: Okay, Reverb has now become "Flake Central", Are there any upstart alternatives?

I've had to much bad luck with shipping damage and such plus the buyers remorse issues that easy returns brings about. I sell my guitars at the local music shop because I don't have to deal with either problem that way. I like the people there so I figure I'm helping the local economy by giving them...

Re: How many spam phone calls do you get a day?

I was getting two a day on both my land line and on my cell so I did a reup on the government do not call list and they seem to have stopped. I don't think there are any teeth in the law so I don't expect it to last. What I hate and think is dangerous is the fact that they spoof your area code which...

Re: Where is everyone ?

https://youtu.be/mxsoJM896fM Yup I'm still around although life has stagnated it seems for me. I have always, it seems, set my guitar down for awhile and then picked it back up, I seem to be in one of those phases.

I can tell you that I have never flagged a post here except one where a guy was a blatant spammer which think Mickey took care of long before the surprise sale. I say this because I don't want anyone to think I'm against posts about guns or anything non guitar because I have wandered off topic mysel...

I would also have to say that especially now due to what happened in Washington yesterday I would defiantly like to discuss how people feel but this is a guitar forum so I don't.

Re: AGF Weirdness. I’m So Confused

I have to admit I have wondered why there were so many posts here about someone's new gun or which gun should I buy due to the fact that this is actually a guitar forum. Don't get me wrong I enjoy shooting to. I'm just saying maybe this isn't the forum to discuss them.

Re: My baby passed away this morning.

Sorry to hear this Doc I'm not looking forward to day that my cat doesn't come home. Life goes on and I've always felt that a loved one that is gone would not want me to remain unhappy so I personally will look for another pet that needs me.

Re: Some familiar names are very quiet...

I've been quiet due to lots of things, winterizing while dealing with kidney stones lately has been an issue. Sister looking like she's needing to move in due to her not being able to get along with anyone, which is the last thing I want. Tree looking like it may fall on my house and so on.

Re: The Trials and Tribulations of CL/Facebook/etc.

I don't consider the deal as done until the return wait period is over and try to hold the money in the bank until I'm sure it is in fact a done deal.
