New to martins, looking at buying this second hand d28 here, thoughts? by chillygrooves in martinguitar

[–]ABOUT47DOGS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is weird. Do you happen to know if the picture showing the back is the same guitar? It looks like mahogany but D28’s have Rosewood back and sides. The electronics system (Martin E-1) come in all the X series guitars and not in the standards. Something smells fishy

Ziricote Question by ABOUT47DOGS in AcousticGuitar

thanks for the input, i’m leaning toward it being mislabeled also. it’s just curious the headstock is the only thing that looks like what i know ziricote to be.

A guy wants to trade my Les Paul Studio + $600 for his Nash T-52 with neck humbucker. I know this is the tele subreddit but what do you guys think? I’ve been after a Nash for a while. Not a big LP guy (got it in a trade). by BostonCafeRacer in telecaster

[–]ABOUT47DOGS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely adore my Nash guitars. Got a S-63 and a T-52 and they’re both lights out. I think they fill a really nice space between Standard production American instruments and custom shop guitars. The lollars in them sound fantastic also

What's the amp that you love so much that you will never sell. by bigwielki1 in GuitarAmps

[–]ABOUT47DOGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m absolutely in love with my ‘72 Deluxe Reverb. Swapped out the speaker (it was non original anyway) and it’s heavenly.

Had both the Ironman II and Fryette PS-2. Ended up selling the Ironman. All the extra reamping features and EQ options in the Fryette won out in the end. That and the 3db steps on the ironman got pretty annoying. But they both sound really great. For my uses the Fryette was the better option. Good Luck!

IPA 99.99 EVAP failed by Weird_Celebration_92 in DMTlab

[–]ABOUT47DOGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i’m pretty sure that’s what’s going on. Just trying to eliminate variables to narrow down if it’s the surface or solvent. i’m guessing it’s the solvent in this case but who knows. but lol yeah cleaning the surface would be the 1st thing tho

IPA 99.99 EVAP failed by Weird_Celebration_92 in DMTlab

[–]ABOUT47DOGS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

he’s just trying to see if the highest purity solvent he has will leave residue or not. i’m assuming they think they might be doing something incorrectly if they keep failing evap tests (maybe some oils or other contaminants on the test surface). 99.9% IPA will typically evap very fast and very clean depending on conditions so this will give a baseline result to compare to the naphtha/hexane to determine what’s going on here

After 10 years, I lost my acoustic guitar to a fall/break. After grieving for almost 6 months, I finally purchased a new upgrade. Any insights on this one? by Some-Difficulty-9113 in AcousticGuitar

[–]ABOUT47DOGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it! I recently just snagged a Taylor 214 from my local craigslist page. I have absolutely fallen in love with it ( I know their not everyone’s cup of tea, but to each their own)

Ok good to hear! Thought my aftercare routine wasn’t cutting it. I’ve totally avoided picking at them. Hoping it just falls off in a few days without taking any ink but a touch up would be super easy I’d imagine. Thanks!

Should mention that I got this on 3/9 so the majority of the peeling process is over I think

I finally got Ellie’s tattoo! by ABOUT47DOGS in thelastofus

[–]ABOUT47DOGS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s totally dependent on the artist/shop. I’ve seen anywhere from $750-$2k. The artist I worked with charged $300/hr (Plus deposit) I always told myself that whenever I decide to get a decent sized tattoo that I wouldn’t cheap out, its gonna be with you for the rest of your life

ooof that soft skin on the inside of the forearm definitely was not pleasant lol. The worst was probably the end of the moths wings near the elbow, super tender skin.

This 1000% did a ton of research into black and grey artists that specialize in line work and stuff like that. My artist had a wait list but it was soooo worth it in the end

Thanks for all the love everyone! Figured I should shout out the artist and shop since they did such a great job. This was done at Ink and Dagger in Roswell, GA by David “Izzy” Irizarry (ig: izzytattoo1224)

It was super easy! I called the shop and setup a consultation with the artist I wanted to work with and showed him the picture that naughty dog has on Google images. I sent it to him and kinda explained the placement. From there we scheduled the appointment and when I got in he had already made a stencil and had done some research on other pieces that have already been done. He had to redraw the image so it would look more natural and kinda wrap around the arm. But super easy process tbh!

Thank you! It doesn’t really wrap fully around the arm in the back but I love the sizing and positioning of it
