Well, I’m telling you Spez, and his admins, are all in on the new MAGA agenda.

Uh, you know they’re purging anyone who criticizes Republicans, and Musk, specifically, right?

Yamaha FG730S

I’ve got an old used Yamaha F-325 I bought for $100 that sounds as good, and plays better than my friend’s Martin SC13E.

I’ve owned dozens of guitars over the last 40 years, including real Les Paul Customs, and high end Stratocasters. My very favorite one is a Yamaha Pacifica 112v that I bought used for $200. I leveled the frets, adjusted the relief, put some cheap Oripure single sized humbuckers wired parallel in the neck and middle, and a Oripure PAF clone in the bridge. I added a Graphtech XL nut, string trees, saddles, and Hipshot locking tuners.

It plays and sounds great, and stays in tune like a rock. I can play any genre with it. I’ll never part with it. My Yamaha Revstar MK2 is a very close 2nd. I adore them both.

The old, and really the new Peavey Bandits are very good solid state amps. The old teal and red stripe models are excellent, if you can find one in good shape. Rock on!

I’ll take your word for it, and believe you. I always buy the last, or next to last generation.

But never Samsung.

Well, it’s a lower mid-tier phone. It exists to make you want to upgrade to a higher tier.

OK, I’m about to get lynched, but here goes:

I’ve never liked Samsung smartphones.

One, because I was poor, and the low end phones were dog slow with the bloated UI.

Two, because I never liked the bloated UI when I could afford a mid-tier phone.

Three, because I still never liked the bloated UI when I could afford their high end phones.

I’m not saying they’re shit, or garbage, or insulting people who like them. I just don’t.

And then, still some tabs.

Did you miss that part?

I love that guy! Especially the tacklebox 3 amps in 1 he built.

I’m in my mid 50’s.

I’ve owned more guitars than I can remember, but I remember owning 2 real Alpine White Les Paul Customs.

And I remember buying a Korean Epiphone Les Paul Standard from the late 80’s/early 90’s that ate both of the real Gibsons.

Now, I have a Yamaha Revstar 2, and a $200 Yamaha Pacifica 112V.

I learned to set up, level frets, etc., and I’ll never part with either of them.

Yep, they do smell good.

True.

I’m old enough where it just amuses me now.

Still annoying, slightly, though.

Don’t you know, fish glue gives “UberToan!”

Until your ear gets good.

And then, still some tabs.

🤘

Brother, the Orange is awesome.

You’ll run into the jerks I described, eventually.

Agreed.

I not saying don’t buy nice things, but the blatant, obnoxious snobbery on some sites is almost unbelievable.
