Is Mickey still around? I haven't seen any posts from him since I started coming back around. Sorta. Hi Mickey! I hope you are well my friend. Agreed, hope things are going OK for you in the Sister City :-) I do remember Jim (Perfect Stranger) all too well - he was one of the few people here that I...

Welcome back. Still lots of good people and good conversation here. It’s nice to see members from the old site continuing to find the way back home.

Seems like a pretty safe gamble. Who here remembers the big Musician's Friend Bugera blowout many years ago? Was about the same time as the $159 AL-2000 extravaganza

OK - all 3 of us are officially in. Let's try and get it up to 12...makes the draft a little more challenging too

My crew ( me and my 2 sons ) are 95% sure, my oldest son just needs to confirm his work schedule. He got his first real job as a Paramedic working 24h shifts, so he can't really do the live draft if he's working that day. I will confirm within 24h

Thanks - although I had not noticed any major issues recently?

Nice - although that Gibson custom it is sitting next to gives me even more GAS.

I will check with my boys and see if they want to do it again - I am guessing yes but will confirm

Remember that booze and pot make lousy shows interesting. I flew into Minneapolis tuesday Morning and the entire city was covered in a somewhat smoky haze. We've had a lot of wildfire smoke from Canada coming down, but then I remembered that Minnesota also went live with legalized recreational Mari...

For the AGF florida crew: I've been travelling down here to your neck of the woods on a monthly basis now for work and back again this week in Fernandina Beach ( way up north! ). I have been trying to find local places that might offer some good music or maybe even a good guitar shop to check out b...

Looks like the perfect setup, glad the gig went well. I must be living under a rock but I did not realize you were back into the Electric world, I thought most of your sets of late were with the acoustic group.

Tommy is awesome. I watch a lot of videos of him playing with all kinds of folks. When are you coming back to Florida? Yes, he seems to be about as down to earth as you can get, especially for a guy that has skills that come from another planet. I've seen several of those videos of him playing with...

I got a chance to see Tommy Emmanuel last night, he played at our lone local theater venue, along with Guest Gareth Pearson. We occasionally get a major/national act coming through town in between Minneapolis and Chicago that makes a stop, so it was an opportunity I could not pass up. It was a great...

They do actually still have run promotions on used stuff from time to time, there was a 15% off used gear over $199 (or maybe $299?) like 2-3 months ago if memory serves. If you ever see it again please post here in the deals thread. As much as Iike them as a used source, I couldn’t handle all the ...

Glad it worked out for you Buddy . There is indeed a cost to trade but sometimes it’s worth it vs the hassles of selling on your own. I would echo slowhand84 on the GC used market, I too have scored some epic deals there. I also remember the days when they used to offer 10-15% off coupons on used, I...

Let's say a fella acquired and ES-339 and was in need of a gig bag made for such. I found plenty of HSC for the 339 but I have not been able to locate a gig bag. Anyone know of if there us such a thing. For a short time I had an epi 339 and it fit in the Fender gig bag I was storing an LP in at the...

so my Friedman Pink Taco V2 is almost perfect for me. It's got that "on the record" Marshall sound that most marshall's don't have or you can't get. You know, you hear a tone on a recorded song, and you know exactly what amp they used, but you can't get any Marshall to reproduce it... Wel...

I am still working through the stash of the Reverb branded Snark knockoffs that they sold for $2.97 each during a sale. Back in the good ol' days when AGF'ers used to share deals and pile on when they came up - like the $159 AL-2000 frenzy :-) I think I bought 10 of these and they have been disperse...

Awesome - you mentioned you were looking for this exact thing so I hope it lives up to the expectations! I know the feeling about the new car too - my current truck is the first brand new vehicle I have ever owned for myself. And no matter how good a deal you get, I always get that feeling as I"...

Wow, glad you are OK mickey . My dad ended up in the hospital a few summers ago with what they thought was a stroke and some seizure activity. After lots an lots of testing and a few days in the hospital, turns out he had "water poisoning" from drinking too much water and getting his elect...

How did I miss this one? Looks like a winner and definitely up your alley for simple/straightforward/get the job done. Glad it's working out well and that you are charting new water in the tone department.

Looks like a pretty straightforward machine...love the traditional finish and controls. The whole Godin Group ( Seagull, A&L, etc ) quietly puts out a very nice range of guitars, both acoustic and electric. Maybe not as quietly in Canada but still under the radar here. HNIGD!

We have been looking at houses lately so no major guitar related purchases on the horizon, if anything perhaps a bit of housecleaning/thinning the herd. I still occasionally get an itch to buy one of the smaller Friedman heads but then I remember that I plug in to an amp less frequently than I go to...

I'm glad he seems to be taking it in stride, water damage is no joke. Although most of the Agile guitars I have owned had enough poly on them that they were probably waterproof to at least 10M

Either the reading glasses are high dollar or the guitar stuff is cheap - maybe I need better glasses myself?
