  1. I love this discussion!

    Music is seldom heard only with the ears. Nobody pays to see their next door neighbor on stage. 
    For the vast majority of humans that make any kind of music it’s a nostalgia/fantasy recycler; precision and practice are absolutely NOT the point and that’s okay. I totally love the dichotomy in my own motivations from a Beavis-and-Butthead place of stupidity and hedonism in one way, a compulsive need to study and practice and refine in another, and also just trying to get to place of living inside one note in one moment at a time…

    Its a crazy world out there. Right now some guy is carefully practicing his songs of devotion to share with a flock on a holy day, and another guy is in a basement somewhere channeling Ace Frehley and Buffalo Bill to assuage his fears of homosexuals, and sees no irony. I don’t think anyone anywhere is ever totally right.

    Keep on Rockin in the Free World 🤘🤣

    I've bought three guitars through here from another hfc member and he has a method for this that I think is brilliant, he puts an Apple Air tag inside the case when he sends the guitar to me, and I return the air tag with his check, he is across the country and can tell me at any point exactly where the guitar is, down to the room it is in within a sorting station

    Might be something to consider, I would anticipate this type of thing is going to increase

    That is freakin awesome! And I think we should adopt it as HFC standard procedure lol.

    I read on Jennifer Batten’s FB that she had a guitar and/or pedalboard lost by an airline somewhere internationally, who were unsurprisingly useless, and the AirTag was the only saving grace that actually got it back.

  3. MODS: Can you please add something to the FS guidelines about posting items that are actually for sale, or at least being up front about limitations?
    I was told via PM that the seller “Forgot to mention that this sale is “either/or”, and since someone called dibs on one of the two items, he was going to keep the other”. Then marked both as sold. Maybe he wanted to sell to someone else and lie to me, who knows.

    Sellers are welcome to set terms, sell to who they want, and even change their mind. Maybe the HFC etiquette is not  expected to be better than TGP or whatever. This lack of detail to begin with, and lack of transparency after is awkward and frustrating, at the least. In this instance, this seller is doing whatever he wants, and I don’t believe he has any malice, but Maybe the HFC could have a positive policy on something like this. Thanks.

  4. (I apologize in advance if this is distracting from the OP, happy to delete and post separately, thanks)

    Speaking of Floyd trems and Gibson style;

    Was the Hamer Chapparal the only US factory guitar model that was 24 3/4” & Floyded?

    Not custom orders etc, but “short scale shredders” made by Hamer or others?
