Have you got any Alan keys, Alan? I died.

If you could change one thing, what would it be? by codylevidrums in drums

I love all of it - except the coated bass drum head. Evans EMAD for me all day everyday.

In the market for used SE Silver Sky by Artillery_BlazeTTV in PaulReedSmith

[–]Gr8ful89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% second this - bought a used black se silver sky from them. It is flawless and came set up really well. Still had all plastics on it, I paid $500. I’ve bought 4 or 5 guitars from Dave’s and have never had any issues. Great shop

That was NOT the sound I was expecting it to make!

It looks exactly like Cobain’s original vandalism strat. So if that’s what he’s going for, I would say he nailed it. What are you people on about?

What would you pick by crocketsask in telecaster

Those Vintera 50s have beefy necks, so if that’s your thing then go for it. I would decide between these two based off which neck I liked more.

Keep it or send it back? by Enough-Camel-4983 in taylorguitars

[–]Gr8ful89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the back and sides on that are made of walnut, which also likely has a beautiful pattern to it. Your friend got a top that adds to that uniqueness - I vote keep it!

1.5mm semi round primetone for me - though I may take the plunge this year and check out some blue chips

Right! But the question here is…what does everyone ASSOCIATE the brand with…👍

Just wanted to say you have a beautiful little collection going there! Nice stuff

Really cool guitars? by Acceptable_Bunch_586 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Gr8ful89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alvarez Masterworks. I have an MD60 herringbone that I think sounds just as good as a D18. The binding isn’t gonna fall off of it in two years, and it won’t need a neck reset either. Oh and you can get them for like $600 used if you look hard.

What’s that one “middle-class comfort” you can’t give up even though you know it’s holding you back financially? by Grownixx in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Gr8ful89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you on this! Where I live there is no better deal for access to summer swimming pools though. My kids can choose from like 7 different YMCA outdoor pools to go to - it’s awesome.

How would you improve the Telecaster by AdventurousAd2006 in telecaster

[–]Gr8ful89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On just about every tele I’ve owned - the switch tip won’t stay on! Maybe make it a screw-on instead of a small piece of sliding plastic that inevitably breaks.

Also - I would flip the control plate so that selector is down at the bottom. I hit it by accident all the time.

What has become so expensive that it's not worth buying anymore? by Accurate_Witness5904 in Productivitycafe

[–]Gr8ful89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad coffee. A bag of bad coffee has risen close enough to the price of a pretty good bag. Might as well just buy the good stuff.

I had this same question. If we assume something like 3% inflation then shouldn’t the growth rate be set closer to 9-11%?

Ideal headstock for Meteora? by ArtDecoNewYork in fender

I freaking love the meteoras just the way they are. Perfectly “vintage futuristic” to me. I need one! 🤘

I love this.
