Re: Firefly Elite Spalted Maple Les Paul

That's cool, but where did you get yours for $200? I've been watching Amazon for 2 weeks with no LP's. Guitar Garden lists their sold out models with a SOLD OUT sign across them and there are no LP's. Ebay has some and they are all $359 and up? I'm looking for one and am just curious as to where yo...

Re: NGD: PRS S2 Singlecut

Congrats, great deal and nice looking guitar. The S2 line is definitely a sweet spot in the PRS lineup. They have a 594 version now too, hoping some day that they start showing up used too.

Re: My furlough just became permanent

I've been really stretching the boundaries of my career search since I got the official notice [mention]JeffBeck[/mention] .

That would not be hard to do, the feed will combine them all into one once you are done.

Re: I've been wanting to try one of the new Harmony guitars made at the Heritage Factory in Kalamazoo, MI

The serials all look handwritten. Perhaps it isn't the same person who does each one? It is bigger. Like twice as big. I put in an offer I think is reasonable. There's no way shipping should be as expensive as they're asking. I'm only a few hours away. Good Luck. I messaged the seller with a few qu...

Re: Reverb Spam

Can't you just drill your search down to the guitars category? Or are all the accessories showing up in the wrong category to begin with? If so there's not much you can do to avoid it.

I still think Reverb is the best site for buying and selling gear by a long shot.

Re: On A Mission To Bring hbowner/vesa Back Here

I think the highlights of HBowner was better than the actual presence of HBowner... He was more like an cheesy 70s/80s comedy with a few chuckles, look at the goofy foreign guy, hahaha... I fear for those fans of him it would only be like a bad sequel. I would agree with this. He was much more of a...

This is my Goldtop - it's also somewhat of an oddity/unique 2012 model. They made a special run of Les Paul Deluxe "reissues" but through the Gibson USA line, and not the Custom Shop where most reissues come from. It originally had Mini hums, but I had [mention]Buddha Pickups[/mention] mak...

Re: Agile AD guitars

That looks like a an AD 2200 to me. https://www.rondomusic.com/Agile_AD-2200_P90_TVY.html Very similar to a 2300 but the 2300 had a TOM bridge. Both are flat tops. AD 2500 and 2800 were carved top doublecuts, and now there is an AD 3200 which is a carved top/neck thru/carved heel. And don't forget t...

Re: Best Agile On The Horizon?

I have been agile-less for quite some time now, and this one is on the short list if i were to buy another. The AL- series is what brought me to Rondo ( and AGF ) way back when, but I really like this model. I wish he would offer it in a standard flame/burst ( TSB, CSB, Lemon, tobacco, etc )

I had a couple of AD201's over the years and never ran into that issue that I can remember, but i also had the plain old non-compensated wraptail - which I would guess might put the strings lower without the additional ridges on top?
