Re: Whoa !! A '59 in Burgundy Mist ?
My first ride was a 77 impala wagon with the backwards facing third row seat and 350/4bbl. It was as much a camper as it was a car.

Re: "Honeyburst" Firefly LP Arrived!
HNGD!. The top almost qualifies as a quilt top maybe? , nice color too. I will freely admit that Firefly sort of fell off my radar, good to see they are still cranking out some good deals.

Re: bromo brand acoustic guitars at rondo music
Rondo has never been known for creative marketing or naming really.... Hadean, Douglas to name a few. The "Bat1" ( Firefly copyright infringement anyone? ) seems like a pretty solid ( pun intended ) spec for $199- Solid top, ebony board, maple binding, lam neck....https://www.rondomusic.c...

Re: Would you need more info?
I have been on both sides of the fence several times in the past few years, and the advice I would give now is far different than what I would have said even 5 years ago 1. With the massive proliferation of AI in the recruiting process, most people get weeded out before a human would ever see a resu...

Maple Neck/freboard was fairly common back in the day in the 2xxx line. That exact guitar in the OP https://www.rondomusic.com/product9764.html

Re: Odd Rondo interaction
Sounds about right While SX has always been a fantastic value, Rondo was never known for their exact inventory management unfortunately Hope you get the one you want.

Re: Acoustic build w/my son *Update 5/1/24*
Looking good, I love the grain/color variation on the top. I understand most people prefer a well matched/consistent top and that's why all the a-stock guitars get them...but I'd much rather have something with personality like that.

Re: Sam Ash To Shutdown Remaining Stores
This is a bummer but not really surprising TBH - not many big retailers left out there in any industry. They were definitely one of the better ones to deal with though, and they also had a pretty decent ( and not as well known ) used selection.

We doubled up the decorative binding. And then the tan colored binding will hide the 2 layers. You can see in the very last pic how it looks..

Re: Playing Unplugged
I play unplugged almost exclusively, and the guitars I keep out all the time are mostly acoustics. But when I have to be quiet I will play one of my electrics either via headphones or sometimes just the guitar. And of the electrics I have, the strat is definitely the loudest acoustically. Mine is no...

Nice playing as always Doc. I have never seen the show but if there is conflict/uncertainty as part of the plot I can feel it in the music.

Re: Acoustic build w/my son *Update 4/10/24*
Just having access to all those tools/equipment is well worth the cost, plus being able to make a mess at someone else's place So what is the prognosis for your project - will you have to replace the whole top or can it be fixed?

I seriously doubt that I'll be around in 2030. I was in hospital in January 2023 and they told me I'd never see 2024 & moved me to Hospice care. I was on Hospice until Jan 2024 & they told me I was too healthy for Hospice. You are preaching to the choir about Mazdas! The majority of the veh...

HNIMD! My family has acquired 2 Mazda's in the past couple years - a CX30 that our kids drive and A CX9 for mom (no more minivan)! Mazda has in my mind taken over the crown for high quality/simple/reliable Japanese cars from Toyota/Honda. Plus they are a heck of a lot more fun to drive. Both of the ...

Re: FireBirds
I don't have one but agree that they definitely have a cool vibe in a non-mainstream way, kind of like these guys... Their guitarist Tim Sult has a pretty extensive Gibson collection and several firebirds coincidentally.

I do appreciate the wisdom as this is a new process for me, I have basically walked from job to job with a good reference or being recruited since I left college 11 years ago.
