Re: Buddha's mod projects

I know I'm not near your numbers (I'm under 150), I really don't need more ways to buy more gear. :P My time hunting bstocks at rondo back in the day made me a sucker for anytime I see a good deal.

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?

It certainly looks comfortable. I need one where the arms can be raised as I do most of my playing at my desk... That was my requirement as well, I needed arms that could raise. I went with the chair below it’s been great so far. I've currently got a Herman Miller wannabe which is comfortable enoug...

The al3100mcc I had was from 2019 and id swear it was probably 21.5mm like your saying and when I got the al3200 it seemed much smaller. I have owned so many guitars its hard to keep up but the ad3200 I got was more like an ibanez jem neck feel much slimmer. Maybe It was due to the satin finish not...
