  1. So it's the customers fault? Umm, ok.
  2. Arnold ended up using the Facebook approved method of tumor treatment. Do your own research!
  3. Drink a bit more tonight and keep us posted.
  4. Sorry for the double tap. Spotty wifi
  5. Sitting off the edge of Guadalupe island over the past few days. Great White action has been pretty heavy. Yesterday we had 6 (4 male 2 female) surfacing around the boat for several hours. We head back tonight. Highly recommend if you get a chance.

  7. Another option is to go Fender Mod shop. You won’t get relic or nitro finish, but you can basically pick from a ton of color options, neck shapes and finger boards (including roasted maple), PUP’s, pick guards etc. Not a full on custom shop, but design your own within a few limits. If you join Fender Play for a year ($99 I think) you get a 10% discount.
  8. Reasonable consolation prize for the no show flakes. I have a few G&L products. Quality is on par with Fender, but you will take a beating in resale value if you sell later on. Used US G&L is the sweet spot for value. But agree with the comments above about a US Fender. Pick your color and maple vs rosewood and don’t look back.
  9. Yeah, that is awful. Especially when you consider the alternatives.
  10. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/murphy-lab-finish-issues.2264680/ Thread on TGP about it. Pics and and comments from the owner are similar to the above. Apparently it also got sent back to Gibson. Comments below are from the owner/thread creator: The issue with the finsih coming off was defective cherry pore filler mix. And the end result likely will be all the finish coming off over time.Gibson stuck their head in the sand hoping some of use would just keep them.Dealers kept selling them and some even resold the defective returned guitars as new.Just a summary for those who did not read all the various posts.
  11. Perhaps, but "deft touch" has never been said about me and musical instruments in any capacity whatsoever.
  12. Hard pass.
  13. I think the sold out limited edition is the issue. The Gibson thin nitro finish is probably delicate (if it’s anything like the Fender thin skin nitro which dinks if you look at it wrong). call them tell them you are ready to buy, can they do just a little better on the price….
  14. Where is the nick? Actual size? Sweetwater usually puts the sizing arrow next to a defect to give scale. It looks small to me. I’d probably do worse in the first month anyways. Assuming you are going to actually play it and not case queen it/flip it, I’d go for it. Now, if the dink was on the neck where I would feel it all the time or on a prominent location always staring at me I would pass. You’ve been after one for a while now, $430 off and they aren’t making any more.
  15. I bet they are confusing the Chronomaster Sport (41mm) with the Original (38mm). If you are keeping it forever, fine. But I agree about buying a new Zenith. The value drop likes a rock so negotiate a good discount.
  16. You should have negotiated your dad down a bit on that price.
  17. 1 of 200. Sacrifices sometimes need to be made. No judgement here, man.
  18. So, the Sweetwater executive that previously stole your Gallagher is done playing with it and ready to pass it on to you for a discount? Sell some plasma or put on something pretty to work the streets for a night and keep both!
  19. Personally, I think it looks amazing. It's definitely not the perfectly lined up flame or quilted PRS top. I like the character of the grain you have going on there. However, you basically answered your own question with your first impressions. It's too expensive for you to be disappointed. Beyond looks, how does it feel/sound?
  20. Take your time man. Sorry you are dealing with that right now. I’ll step up and post something to keep the wolves at bay. Blue balls? No. Blue bass!
  21. I’ve asked for a wellness check to be performed at the Bogeywon place of residence. Hopefully pics of guitar soon after. If the police shoot him, I call dibs on our new guitar. You guys can have the Tele and the amps.
  22. That top is gorgeous. Did the seller put the original pickups back in? He says all electronics are stock, but then also comments that the burn on the back came from a careless moment with the soldering iron while swapping pickups.... Also, I have had some careless moments with a bass that picked up a ding, but never an oops I just burned my R9 moment. That must have been a bad day.
  23. https://reverb.com/item/42048173-gibson-gibson-noel-gallagher-j-150-2021-brown-2021 Just trying to help again.
  24. Awesome! We are getting a new guitar.
  25. It does not say sold out, but you can't add it to your cart. They have a serial number listed with it, so maybe on the way? Weird.
