  1. Can you ship in a box that says “not a guitar”?
  2. Here is a real result satin transparent orange. Warmoth site images are always hit or miss. You would be pretty reliant on hoping for a good grain pattern.
  3. Location is up to you. Every place you are looking is great. I suggest narrowing down to a location or two and keep visiting it during each of the 4 seasons to see if there is enough enjoyment for your family year round. If Durango wasn't full, that would be my choice from your options. We initially dreamed of a remote mountain home, but after looking at in town, remote and stuff in between, we realized that we did not want to deal with maintaining it from 2 states away. Get a good realtor that knows the area and will show you a variety of options. You definitely need to plan on maintaining the property while you are gone. Condos/Townhomes are much easier than a free standing home. HOA will deal with roof/exterior maintenance and snow removal but you do have neighbors. For the most part, it will be lock and leave which is really nice. I like not having to spend my time up there fixing stuff every day instead of enjoying the area. Smart home features can make things easier (cameras, leak detectors, automatic leak water heater shut off, wifi thermostats etc), but nothing replaces having eyes on it with snow, storms, animals etc. Someone above me had a hot water heater leak about two months ago. Thankfully, we caught it early. Get a trustworthy caretaker to come by at least once a month. It saved me from extensive damage.You also need to plan for outside lawn care and snow removal for a free standing home. It can really suck to drive up at night and and see a driveway full of snow. All that being said, if they fit for you, it can be pretty awesome. Just make sure you will use it enough to make the headaches that will pop up worth it. If we weren't planning to eventually move up permanently I don't know that we would have taken the plunge. But so far, no ragrets.
  4. This exists near me and I continue to resist it due to the painted on F hole.
  5. I'm in. Plus one for heavy orange flake.
  6. PM sent JJ. May have a Seagull option for you
  7. https://ish.guitars/products/2020-prs-silver-sky-midnight-rose Maple fretboard though...
  8. If you like it, go for it. It's your watch. Personally, I am not a fan of gold or brown anything. I also think the root beer/brown color scheme will fall out of fashion just like it did after the 1970's. If I am dropping that much coin on a watch, I would prefer a more timeless design.
  9. Or with your current blue burst/mother of pearl....
  10. I would certainly be the God of Thunder with that setup. No way I can justify the amp. But the Thunderbird has me very tempted. I would like to try one out in person and see what the ergonomics are in real life, but nobody has them in stock.
  11. I waited tables there my last 2 years of college. It was great place with the old dark giant square bar up front. When they did the "upscale" remodel, the place totally lost it's charm.
  12. Great. I am sure it will work out as well as Guitar Center.
  13. I I finally got enough motivation to list some stuff. Sold 4 basses and 2 amps over the past month. Actually feels nice to be free of some excess gear. I know....... I'll show myself out now.
  14. Pics aren’t showing up for me.
  15. Be sure and do some coke in the bathroom.
  16. Well that sucks. At least it's on the back???
  17. I wrote off G&L after they mismanaged a replacement pickguard. Can’t even imagine dealing with what Gibson is doing. Hope your brother comes out ok Goredho.
  18. Please tell me you got Roxy Pink! You ordered Tungsten didn't you.....
  19. So it's the customers fault? Umm, ok.
  20. Arnold ended up using the Facebook approved method of tumor treatment. Do your own research!
  21. Drink a bit more tonight and keep us posted.
