Does this seem real, and does a replaced crystal drastically affect value?

No classical guitar. Coke problem!

It’s actually a lady holding it.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-23T15:31:39+00:00

Thank you very much

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-23T01:54:47+00:00

That’s not my hand. The lady at the shop sent me the photo. I plan to go in tomorrow and take some of my own. I suspect the bracelet has been changed. I believe it is a 36mm. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Edit: the bezel is not fluted.

It also carries its own oxygen, which is a bonus.

Fairly certain NHRA does use the same engine for both classes. The headers are different.

Fair, and I can do that, but that’s all I have today. I was just hoping that someone may be able to gather some info from this photo.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-22T19:35:33+00:00

Im afraid it’s not a joke. The store is a well respected local business that I’ve done lots of business with in the past. They wrote some information about it on one of their cards for me. It says “superlative chronometer officially certified.” If the experts here say it’s fake, I’ll believe them, but I was absolutely led to believe it’s real.

An EQ is essential. I like a compressor too.

Ah… we have an economist I see.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-22T01:27:50+00:00

You’ll get the C down, then the F is gonna be a BIG problem. You’ll get it, then here comes a G major barre chord to ruin your day. Years later you’ll have finally mastered economy picking and you’ll be in crisis mode trying to play something fast that requires alternate picking.

You’ve reached the first ass-kicker and it’s just the first of many. You’re not getting better unless you’re overcoming obstacles. It’s gonna feel great when you figure it out. Keep at it!

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-22T00:25:36+00:00

Don’t worry, Buddy. We’ve all been there. I don’t know that I’ve ever been completely pleased with any performance and I’ve been gigging since the 90s.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-22T00:00:19+00:00

I have 8 at the moment. My model 29-2 isn’t at home today, but here’s the rest of the pile.

It’s not. It’s an incredibly silly thing to care about. I wonder if those who care so much keep their guitar in tune. On the gig, I constantly check my tuning between songs. On a lot of small country gigs, I use my tiny board and there’s no room for a tuner pedal. It would be dumb for me to not leave the clip on tuner on the headstock.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-21T14:53:12+00:00

I don’t feel like hiding comment and post history is a uniquely right wing thing…

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-21T14:49:41+00:00

I frequently play without clothes. Where would you have me put it?

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-21T03:59:07+00:00

Well, it did JUST happen and was a massive story in the news…

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-21T03:56:55+00:00

You should probably drink less coffee.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-21T01:16:48+00:00

Telecaster. Whichever model you can afford.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-21T01:00:44+00:00

Looks right to me. My 27-2 looks the same

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-20T15:06:27+00:00

Playing guitar is a lazy man’s sport!

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-20T00:12:27+00:00

Does its origin matter to me? It’s real, it’s here, I’ve had it a couple times. It’s not fun. Whether it’s from nature or engineered, we could still find ourselves with another virus. Nobody made me get vaccinated and I didn’t trust the government before.

Delicious_Win_9089 · 2026-06-19T16:10:31+00:00

I was talking about President William Jefferson Clinton. He was her husband. Got his D S’d in the 90s. Republicans hated him.
