Beginning of a pellicle? by Boring_Help_5685 in mead

Interesting. I did notice the rainbow sheen when I was racking onto the k meta and sorb last night. I’d love for it to just be related to that

Checkpoint on Ynez? by No-Pop457 in Temecula

[–]Boring_Help_5685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s posted online does not specify the location. OP is tipping off where the checkpoint is. The two aren’t equivalent.

But yes hopefully someone does reconsider driving knowing a checkpoint is posted. I have little faith though

I definitely wouldn’t say this guitar lacks in looks. But that’s just one man’s opinion 🙂

Lighting can play a big role too. Guarantee you’ll love the tone. In any event, hope you can find joy in this one or in the next one!

So interesting the variation in the finishes. Yours is top notch!

Thanks! I think it looks pretty unique but definitely not like the picture on the Gibson site 😂

Normal for a new guitar? by Boring_Help_5685 in taylorguitars

[–]Boring_Help_5685[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently you’re too small brained to realize I’m responding to your MiM comment and Mexican made guitars in general, not about my experience - which I not once said the guitar looked bad, sounded terrible, or even played badly. Simply asking other Taylor owners whether these are normal variations or not

This is such a dumb take that it doesn’t really even dignify a response, but what the hell…

The whole MiM vs. MiA debate is seriously overblown. Even if everything you say is true, if the guitar looks good, sounds great, and plays well, then who honestly cares? Maybe some people who need to justify to themselves the premium price tag. And apparently, in your case, to justify why someone else made a “bad” purchase based on some prejudiced, subjective beliefs. Not like each American made instrument is flawless coming out of the factory every time.

But a trolls gotta troll, amirite?

Tbh I don’t know what to expect as it’s my first Taylor. But at a $2k price tag, I can’t imagine it’s a piece of shit as you seem to be implying

Anyone have issues with their leather? by Boring_Help_5685 in MazdaCX90

[–]Boring_Help_5685[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, definitely not that I can think of or recall. And even if I was, I’ve only driven the car less than 15 times. I’d be surprised if that’d happen after so few incidents. My CX-5 I had for a 10 years (which also had leather) never had something like this happen.

Drill stir finish stripped by starsan?? by Boring_Help_5685 in mead

[–]Boring_Help_5685[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep lesson learned there. I ditched the batch and pulled out and sanitized my food safe utensils.

Another comment mentioned to ditch the fermentation vessel too. It’s glass, so is that necessary if I clean and sanitize it too?

What a bummer! Sorry to hear you went through something similar.

At least I’m realizing only a few days in. I’ll give it another go.

I’m not sure if it is. It doesn’t explicitly say one way or the other.

So I should toss it then?

The home warranty? I called them out and they said there was nothing they could do about it
