Re: PLAYING GUITAR BEHIND YOUR HEAD: COOL or ULTIMATE DOUCHEBAG MOVE?

I voted Douchbag but I don't feel that strongly about it, I just don't care for gimmicks like that myself. I remember seeing a video where a guy tried to spin his guitar around by the strap without having strap locks and watching it fly away and go crunch. Another good reason to gig with cheap guita...

Re: Hurricane is everyone battened down?

Wow I read today that there were 67 deaths recorded so far which is just what I feared once I saw pictures of Ft Myers, so sad. Having grown old and not nearly as mobile as I used to be I really feel for those who stayed instead of evacuating, its just not as easy as it sounds.

Re: Harley Benton suggestion

Ok I just heard about the Harmony Comet which of course is nothing like the PRS line but its 100% american made in Kalamazo although not in the old Gibson factory like Heritage and half the price of a Heritage. I'm not a fan of the Fender 12 3/4 scale as opposed to the 24 3/4 scale of the Gibson so ...

Harley Benton suggestion

I'm thinking of buying my first guitar is quite a while because I don't have a PRS style guitar. I'm thinking Harley Benton because the dollar is so strong right now. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which model is good one?

I'm glad your doing well. I believe my son will be having both his knees repaired or replaced soon and I know the recovery takes a while but the end result is being able to walk without pain again so hang in there.

Re: Which soldering station why?

I've been using a Stahl ssvt which is a cheap work station which does not have a digital display but it has worked quite well and I can buy new tips for it which can be important. I bought it because I'm cheap and as I say its worked quite well for about 8 years now. https://www.amazon.com/Stahl-Too...

Worst dead sounding guitar unplugged, but it is an Electric guitar. I ended up swapping in other budget pickups I had on hand. If I didnt have the Jackson HSS Dinky, I probably would have kept it.

Re: Selling guitars suggestions

Yamahas are an underrated guitar brand. I agree after owning two now. I've never really been a strat man so its kinda interesting playing around with these. Really for the money I feel these are great guitars. People call them starter guitars but they are consistently well made and with a few mods ...
