I looked at one today and it was priced over $3K. I saw a used faded model SG with mini hums for under $1200. I thought it was a little steep. I would have given them $800. It had small block inlays and was an awesome guitar, just over priced.

It was the manager that made the decision to hold the guitar and put it in the back. I certainly thought he would have looked at my account on my phone, realized the problem was on them, the payment had been made and released the guitar but he did not. I will make sure I deliver another piece of my ...

My GC experience today. I have been wanting a Gibson J45 Standard for quite awhile. They had one up in Ocala so I rode up there this morning with my lovely bride to check it out. As luck would have it, it turned out to be a good one. I played it and then we left and went to lunch next door to discus...

Happy New Acoustic Day!!

I had a parlor model by PRS a few years ago. It was really nice and sounded really good too. My infatuation with parlor guitars ended and I let it go.

Honestly, I do not know how the Stratocaster became such an iconic guitar. I cannot get anything I like out of one. Of course, I am probably the issue. I love a Tele though.

I have one. I got it out of curiosity. It was not okay when it arrived but after tuners, set up, pups, and a few other mods it is usable. I let a friend take it home over a year ago. He was wondering if he would like a semi-hollow so I said, take her for a spin. If he did not bring it back I would b...

I could start a thread declaring SS amps suck or that Gibson guitars are at least 40% better than (pick an import), but I won't. I will say, since my falling out with Rondo over the custom order debacle, I have found it difficult at times to be civil when someone posts glowing reviews of Agiles or a...

Interesting to say the least. I have never been able to make a Marshall amp work for me. I have had an 800, a 900, a Valvestate, a DSL 401 and a few others but I fell out of love with them quickly. I think the old ones are better. While I have you, if you PM me where to send it, I will cut a check f...

Very nice Doc. You seem to be partial to that Tokai LP, it must be special. I feel the same way about my Gibson 60's Tribute Goldtop with P90s. If I were famous and Gibson approached me to make a signature guitar, I would tell them they already did.

@LightWingStudios Patrick, I do not use paypal much any longer but would be glad to sent you a check if I had your address details. You can PM me. Thanks for all you do and good luck with your health issues. May they go away and never come back.

Not where I am, but the panhandle got record breaking snow.

Happy New Year!

I had a fire in the fireplace last evening and I just spent an hour picking up kindling on the property for the next few days. While we have not had temps below freezing it is quite cool for this part of Florida. I am good with it. I do not think I could live where it is that cold and I know the wif...

Mickey is like me, everyday is Saturday and it is always 5 o'clock.

Finally I get to see crap.

There are three GC locations within reach for me and they all are okay. Coming from someone that absolutely loves the Gibson brand, it has been my experience that about 90 out of 100 in any store, anywhere I have been to, are horrible compared to other brands including Epiphone. When I made up my mi...

A good friend of mine and occasional bandmate goes to the Philippines all the time and plans to retire there in the next couple of years. He writes records songs about the Philippines. He is quite popular there. He records under the name Manila Jones. He is one of the best guitar players I know and ...

There is a really cool story about his Stratocaster that he played when he went electric and caused all the controversy amongst his folk fans. He left it on a private plane. The pilot had the guitar and tried to return it but his people insisted he did not leave in on the plane so he kept it. He die...

Welcome to the forum. While Agile guitars do have quite a history for most here, this is not the "Agile" forum. It's a long story but the short version is, we all abandoned the Agile forum and came here. I think it is call A Guitar Forum so that the acronym AGF would still apply. That said...

There is a radius and I have no way to measure it. It appears to be close or the same as my Martins. I have not had to adjust the truss rod so not sure but I would assume it is double action.

Oh my, I love those dogs. I had never heard of them before.

I ordered a Harley Benton CLA-15CME about 6 months ago and it is quite nice. It is all mahogany with a cutaway. It does not suit my ear that well sonically, especially compared to my all mahogany Martins. It is well built and seems quite "stiff". I think it will loosen up over time as acou...

Missed it again.

I've eyeballed those Ernie Ball Albert Lee guitars back in the day but never purchased one. I like they way they look. I bet that was a fun show!

Good stuff Doc.
