  1. Waaaaay ahead of ya, Mike. Well, maybe not waaaay......
  2. I did. It's not a PC guy, either.
  3. PC. I already gave up. I'm sure somebody could do it, but that somebody isn't me. Close enough.
  4. I'm using 2 monitors from different brands and the colors between them isn't even close. Is there a trick to dialing them in? They don't have to be perfect, but closer would be nice. Thanks!
  5. Hey Cam, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but are you Andre the Giant-size?
  6. Rufus T has arrived! My 'first 10 minutes' evaluation: Holy shit. How do they do that? Straight off the truck, pulled it out of the box, tuned it up, plugged it in and damn - nice snap from the bridge and Clapton-esque wool from the neck, from strings that sound 40-years-old. Raised the treble-side action a hair. The D-shaped neck felt good, and has enough heft (but not too much) to be comfy. Stays in tune (big plus). All switches, knobs, etc function properly. No glaring cosmetic issues. And it just feels solid, without being heavy. I thought the Tele was really good. This is definitely a notch above that. And it looks cool. The Metallic Green looks really good in person, especially with the gold (I know, I know. I'll put a big 'G' on it) and I'm not a big fan of the color green. A string change and set-up is next. Neck pickup goes from woolly to woollier so that might change, who knows. But the initial hit says it's a keeper
  7. I'm no Euell Gibbons but it looks like mahogany to me.
  8. Saw your video with it, Kirk. Sounds good even with the missing string!
  9. **Thunk** Everything right with the world in those 2 pictures. Wow.
  10. Given the amount of rust, the insides have to smell pretty nasty. I sure wouldn't put my 'vintage 1980s Hamer' in it. That's about $490 too much, given the condition.
  11. We don't need schools, instruments or talent. AI will take care of all of that.
  12. Ooooh, singer-songwriter drama! Gonna google THIS! Jeez, the Barf Brooks thing is a godawful POS. And pretty blatant.
  13. In a search for a cheap Telecaster, I bought a Firefly Thinline that turned out to be really well done - and under $200! Sold it when the T51 arrived: Because it was so good, and being a big fan of the BillyBo, when they came out with the Solstice I had to give it a go: Since I have no green guitars (also comes in black, vintage white, and red), well..... it arrives Friday. If it's anywhere near as good as the Tele, it'll be alright. And right around $280 to the door. https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/ffse
  14. Possibly the first Sustain Block Junior (2005)? Inspired by a 1958 3/4-size Gibson from 25 years prior. Light, resonant, and rips!
  15. Don't you just hate kids nowadays?
  16. C'mon! Don't leave us hanging!
  17. https://apnews.com/article/todd-snider-dies-1327dee203d2e50af5bd051fea8780ae Yep, the 'Beer Run' guy. Saw him by accident (we didn't know he was opening for John Prine) and loved it. One of the most engaging performers I've ever seen. R.I.P., Mr. Snider.
  18. Anybody here use one? Pros and cons?
  19. Remember when the MIK versions were $300-$400 and that was too much?
  20. You said what everyone was thinking. Thank you.
