    I find new stuff from Spotify’s algorithms all the time. I had paid for my kids accounts for a few years before I asked what it was. The idea of being able to find all my favs so easily surprised me. First time I tried it I picked a song for them to play during a long car ride. Then it started to automatically pick a bunch of my other favorites automatically. It was spooky. This was at least 20 years ago. I find lots of obscure stuff I love.

    Thanks for the reviews. This Boomer will be trying them for the first time.

    And their return policy makes it risk free with a long try out period. Good PSA.

    I don't want to go public on this but I used Paul/Unk  for years, gave up on him probably 6 years ago after some issues. Gave him another shot about two years ago, a simple nut replacement. The first one was really bad, buzzing on all open strings. He took it back (wasn't too happy either) and did another one. The edges were sticking out and the G string was cut lower than the B so the G was buzzing and the strings were buried deep in a too high nut. I just took it home. Never again. Another guy just posted on TGP about problems with Unk too. His turn around is fast though FWIW. It's sucks too because he is like 10 minutes from me. He was really good back in the day. He rants and raves too but that would not bother me if his work was good. Billy Penn is near Unk, I'd go to him first, I hear good things.

    Ultimate beach / guitar picture there^^. Watch the damn sand. This is a great story in general..happy for all you new owners and happy for Mr Shiskov. Any word on other possible body styles to come? Maybe I can extract myself from the low rent, but very satisfying CL rut I've been in.

    The tuners have "Deluxe" and a small S on them..Schallers I assume? Not the clearest shot..all I've got.

    Good info, thanks. No paperwork of any kind came with the guitar..guitar and case, that's it. Do you have your bridge backed out some with the set screws towards the bottom of the guitar? Without engaging the set screws I wouldn't be able to intonate it.

    How can you tell? Congrats Pete. Great score and super deal. So you now approve of the headstock? After you made fun of it I almost abandoned my pursuit. You've been spending too much time with the Heritage guys me thinks Thanks Mike.

    I'd be interested in any history on the guitar. The seller only had it a few months. I'll pm you with the sn if you'd like to have a look.. Will do. In the for sale thread you had asked how I would rate if for jazz applications, I never got back to you. I'm no jazz player but I noodle a little. I guess any guitar can be used for jazz but with that said, this would not be my first choice, This thing is great if you want to dig in for whatever application. The action is not super low, but even played acoustically, I can dig in and it just rings out buzz free. Hope that's some help. Thanks again for all the kind words, it is in the HFC fold now FWIW.

    I'll kiss and tell, he went down to $900 over the phone and to $875 because I drove to his location. And because he "hates CL". This will be a keeper for sure.

    Thanks G Man. Really I'm not sure what the pickup is or what they were using in 2004..assuming it's a hot Duncan..it reminds me some of the ones I had in my 93. I'll pull it out when I change strings and look. I love my Wolftones (Mean and Meaner) in my 93 Special so much, I'm tempted to just get a Meaner and install it but maybe I'll get something a little different..open to suggestions. I like vintage tones with some balls if that's any help. Edit: Ha, just occurred to me that to replace "pickups" in a Jr you only have to buy one..cool
