Re: If you think guitars are overpriced, look at saxophones...

Yeah man, Our 12 year old just started playing Alto sax in the school band. I don't know if all middle schools are like this, but they take it crazy serious and "Advised" us on what saxophone to get (It was a Yamaha) along with a HUGE list of Saxophones and accessories NOT to buy. The Sax ...

Re: AGF Evolution?

I had an accident that left me with limited use of my left hand so I can't really play anymore. I still have my guitars but they don't see much action beyond a few minutes of frustrating noodling before it gets put away. I switched to motorcycles a while back. At least I can still fo that well. I st...

Good luck with the Resto. I have zero advice to offer beyond Have Fun! Wouldn't have it any other way. Pics along the way? Sure. Not much to see right now. It's the body and it is strung up to make sure the neck would hold. I stripped the truss rod back in like 2006. Shockingly the neck hasn't budg...

DLX800 restoration

Hey guys, a little over a year ago I started looking at my old Agile DLX800 and thought it would be fun to bring it back to life. The truss rod in it is stripped, but it has magically held it's straightness. Point being I don't want to sink a lot of money into it since there is no telling what might...

Re: Used car shopping gets you down....

I just bought a car on Wednesday. Back in 2017 I wanted to get a current bodied mustang (2015+) but the cash it was going to take at the time was more than I wanted to spend. After talking to a good buddy (He has uncanny luck with cars) I found a 2013 GT premium that was in fantastic condition and L...

Re: What is the dumbest, most asinine theory/belief you personally hold about guitars in general?

That Gibsons are the most overrated guitars on the planet. Not any more they're not. :D A neck-thru guitar has better sustain than a bolt-on. Thought that was the case. I was wrong. How the hell is that not obviously true? Sometimes I think it may be the inverse. It actually is. There have been man...

Re: Any WHISK(e)Y, other spirits aficionados? Single malt, bourbon, rye, cognac, rum, etc.

I'm no officianado but I do enjoy Bulleit from time to time and when I'm feeling snarky an 18 year glenfiddich. The latter is a rare occasion of course.

As a "daily drinker" (I'm not one but if I were...) Jameson black barrel is nice and Jim beam certainly goes down smooth enough.

For me I'm into guns and motorcycles. My collections aren't huge but I love to ride and I love to shoot. There is something about ringing a gong 150 yards away that is just plain fun. I'm not particularly great at either but I enjoy the hell out of them none the less. I've got a 2002 VFR, a 2013 Vi...
